In Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery the common limb length (CLL) is thought to significantly impact on nutritional and metabolic outcomes. However, there has been little focus on establishing routine standardized CLL measurements and its subsequent effect on weight loss and nutritional status. This review aimed to determine the effect of variations of CLL in RYGB surgery on post‐operative outcomes, particularly nutritional status, while considering the need for routine CLL measurements in addition to measuring biliopancreatic limb and alimentary limb lengths.
