    Author: Friedman D, Marinari G, Camerini G, Baschieri G, Simonelli A, Scopinaro N.

    Abstract:
    Recent advances in anesthetic and surgical techniques have increased the survival of patients after extensive bowel exclusions. This, in addition to the increased use of intestinal bypass for the treatment of obesity, has substantially increased the number of persons living with a short bowel. Proper management of these individuals is based on a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of the shortened gastrointestinal tract.
