Abstract
- Background: extensive resection of the intestinal tract regularly results in insufficient digestion and absorption of nutrients, a condition identified as short bowel syndrome. This condition requests a devoted multidisciplinary collaboration to overcome the morbidity and mortality in these patients. With progresses in serious care management, an increased number of patients survive the prompt morbidity of massive intestinal resection present with short bowel syndrome. Some treatments, including parenteral nutrition and surgical methods to reconstruct bowel have been utilized in these patients. Dietary methods, pharmacotherapy and convenient surgical interventions have all added to the enhanced result in these patients. Nevertheless, increasing experience and promising outcomes of intestinal transplantation had added a new aspect to the administration of short bowel syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
