Background Variation in the outcome of bariatric surgery is still an unraveled phenomenon. This variation could be multifactorial. Several reports implicate the total small bowel length (TSBL) in this process. However, the basic information regarding the normal bowel length and its relation to the anthropometric parameters of the living subject is scarce. This study aims at reporting the normal total bowel length in living adult humans and its correlation with the anthropometric parameters. Methods This study included 606 participants (380 females and 226 males). Their mean age was 39.8 +/- 11 years, weight = 135.7 +/- 29.7 kg, height = 165 +/- 9 cm, and BMI = 49.5 +/- 7.5 kg/m(2). The mean TSBL was 630 +/- 175 cm. There was a statistically significant but very weak positive correlation but between the TSBL and both weight and height. Males had significantly higher weight and were significantly taller compared with females. TSBL was significantly longer in males at 661.5 +/- 186 cm versus 612 +/- 164 cm in females. Conclusion The study reports an average TSBL greater than what is reported in the literature from living humans with a greater range of variation. There is no clinically important correlation between the TSBL and the weight and height of the individual participants in this series.
