  • Title: Current issues in the management of intestinal failure.
    Author: Gupte GL, Beath SV, Kelly DA, Millar AJ, Booth IW.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 2006 Mar; 91(3):259-64. PubMed ID: 16492891.
    Abstract:
    Successful long term parenteral nutrition has transformed the prognosis for children with irreversible intestinal failure in the last three decades, but has also highlighted the long term complications: intestinal failure associated liver disease; recurrent catheter sepsis; and impaired venous access. Recent advances in small bowel transplantation and non-transplant surgical techniques now offer hope of sustained survival in the future without parenteral nutrition.
