Intestinal Adaptation Following Resection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2014
Intestinal adaptation is a natural compensatory process that occurs following extensive intestinal resection, whereby structural and functional changes in the intestine improve nutrient and fluid absorption in the remnant bowel. In animal studies, postresection structural adaptations include bowel lengthening and thickening and increases in villus ...

Intestinal adaptation and rehabilitation

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2023
Massive intestinal resection is a regrettably necessary but life-saving intervention for progressive or fulminant necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). However, the resultant short bowel syndrome (SBS) poses its own array of challenges and complications. Within hours of such an abrupt loss of intestinal length, the intestine begins to adapt.

Promoting intestinal adaptation

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2007
Intestinal adaptation is the process by which the intestine responds to loss of surface area in order to maximize functional capacity. Recent studies suggest that the process can be accelerated and augmented by a combination of nutritional and non-nutritional interventions.

Hormones and Polyamines in Intestinal and Pancreatic Adaptation

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1985
The evidence for and against an enteropancreatic trophic axis is reviewed. Luminal nutrition is essential for the maintenance of normal intestinal mucosal, and exocrine pancreatic, structure and function. Exclusion of luminal nutrition leads to mucosal hypoplasia and hypofunction with similar changes in the pancreas.

Humoral Factors in Intestinal Adaptation

Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2000
The small bowel has a remarkable ability to adapt after injury, inflammation or resection. It has long been suggested that humoral factors, particularly enteroglucagon, epidermal growth factor, neurotensin and growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor I, might stimulate bowel growth.

Postoperative adaptation of the small intestine

World Journal of Surgery, 1985
AbstractFor nearly 100 years, the small intestine has been known to compensate for partial tissue loss. For only some 20 years has the phenomenon been studied in any depth, and a small proportion of these investigations has been undertaken in humans. Experimental and clinical data show that enteric mucosal hyperplasia in the remaining small bowel after

Promoting intestinal adaptation by nutrition and medication

Bailliere's Best Practice and Research in Clinical Gastroenterology, 2016
The ultimate goal in the treatment of short bowel syndrome is to wean patients off parenteral nutrition, by promoting intestinal adaptation. Intestinal adaptation is the natural compensatory process that occurs after small bowel resection. Stimulating the remaining bowel with enteral nutrition can enhance this process.

Predictors of Intestinal Adaptation in Children

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2019
In children, short-bowel syndrome (SBS) accounts for two-thirds of the cases of intestinal failure, and motility disorders and congenital mucosal diarrheal disorders account for the remaining one-third. Children with SBS are supported primarily by parenteral nutrition, which is the single-most important therapy contributing to their improved prognosis.
