Abstract

Short bowel syndrome in adults occurs as a result of massive small intestinal resection commonly due to severe Crohn's disease, volvulus or tumors. Diarrhea and weight loss are hallmarks of malabsorption which are aggravated if the colon is removed along with the small intestinal resection. Enteral nutrition autonomy is difficult to achieve in such cases of malabsorption where parenteral nutrition are required more often than not. We report a case of short bowel syndrome with severe malabsorption following extensive small bowel removal. The patient eventually underwent intestinal rehabilitation surgery and achieved independence from parenteral nutrition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
