  • Title: [The surgical treatment of the short bowel syndrome by creating reservoir pouches. An experimental study on rats].
    Author: Hernández Bermejo JP, Aguayo Albasini JL, Carrasco González L, Parrilla Paricio P.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1992 Mar; 81(3):167-70. PubMed ID: 1567715.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal pouches are one of the techniques for the surgical treatment of the short bowel syndrome. In a experimental study with rats, the influence of the intestinal pouches in a model of 85-90% small bowel resection are investigated. The pouches improve the transit time of the resected animal. However, there is no improvement in the weight curves after extensive small bowel resection. This negative effect is due to the establishment of a blind loop syndrome at the level of the pouch. The intestinal pouches have no place in the surgical treatment of the short bowel syndrome.
