Short Bowel Syndrome in an Infant

NeoReviews, 2020
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a malabsorptive state that may occur either after surgical bowel resection or as the result of congenital bowel anomalies. SBS can incur significant morbidity and mortality including intestinal failure, cholestasis, sepsis, and death.

Neonatal short bowel syndrome

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1991
In this retrospective study the management of infants who had undergone resection of more than 50% of the small bowel as newborn infants between 1970 and 1988 was analyzed to define prognostic factors. Small bowel resections were performed for atresia (36 cases), volvulus (22 cases), gastroschisis (10 cases), necrotizing enterocolitis (11 cases), and ...

Management of the Short-bowel Syndrome

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1991
The patient with short-bowel syndrome after massive small-intestinal resection represents one of the greatest clinical challenges a general surgeon must face. Maintaining optimal nutritional and metabolic support until maximum bowel adaptation can occur is the top priority of therapy.

Lethal short-bowel syndrome

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1990
Infants with short-bowel syndrome are difficult to manage. Despite supportive measures with parenteral nutrition and surgery to lengthen remaining bowel or increase functional absorptive surface area, the outcome for many of these infants is poor. We have reviewed a series of seven infants diagnosed with severe short bowel. Causes included volvulus (3),

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Short Bowel Syndrome

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2019
Short bowel syndrome / intestinal failure (SBS/IF) is a rare and debilitating disease process that mandates a multidisciplinary approach in its management. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in particular Crohn's disease (CD), predisposes patients to development of SBS/IF.

Enhancing bowel adaptation in short bowel syndrome

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2002
Malabsorption of both nonessential and essential nutrients, fluid, and electrolytes will, if not compensated for by increased intake, lead to diminished body stores and to subclinical and eventually clinical deficiencies. By definition, intestinal failure prevails when parenteral support is necessary to maintain nutritional equilibrium.

Short bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease

Gastroenterology, 2003
Patients with Crohn's disease are at high risk for recurrent disease and often undergo multiple operations. Our aims were to evaluate surgical management and outcome of patients with Crohn's disease who develop short bowel syndrome (SBS) and to identify factors leading to this complication.

Short bowel syndrome in children

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1995
Short bowel syndrome is defined as malabsorption following small intestinal resection. There are many causes in children, most of whom present during infancy. The clinical presentation and physiologic consequences depend heavily on the segment of bowel removed and the extent of resection.

Vanishing gastroschisis and short-bowel syndrome

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000
Gastroschisis occurs in 1 of every 4000 live births resulting in a neonate with an abdominal wall defect that requires repair. Surgical correction has high survival rates.An 18-year-old primigravida had a fetus with gastroschisis detected by ultrasound performed for elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein.
