  • Title: Short bowel syndrome.
    Author: Collins JB, Georgeson KE, Vicente Y, Kelly DR, Figueroa R.
    Journal: Semin Pediatr Surg; 1995 Feb; 4(1):60-72; discussion 72-3. PubMed ID: 7728510.
    Abstract:
    Improvements in parenteral nutrition and supportive therapy have led to a growing population of patients who survive for prolonged periods with short bowel syndrome. Definitive treatment for these patients requires innovative therapy based on a sound knowledge of small intestinal physiology and adaptation. Current understanding of short bowel pathophysiology and of intestinal adaptation are reviewed. Medical and surgical therapeutic options are described, highlighting the promotion of small bowel adaptation and methods to increase the small intestinal mucosal mass.
