  • Title: Colon interposition for extreme short bowel syndrome: a case report.
    Author: Brolin RE.
    Journal: Surgery; 1986 Sep; 100(3):576-80. PubMed ID: 3090727.
    Abstract:
    Successful use of colon interposition has not been previously reported in an adult with short bowel syndrome. This article describes the course of a 34-year-old woman who had interposition of an 18 cm segment of sigmoid colon between 5 cm of proximal jejunum and 7 cm of terminal ileum after midgut volvulus. The rationale for use of colon interposition in cases of extreme short syndrome is discussed.
