Short bowel syndrome

Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2007
Treatment of short bowel syndrome (SBS) is often a difficult endeavor due to the high variability among patients with SBS in regard to remaining anatomical structure and functional capacity. Research efforts to substantiate the use of existing therapies in the treatment of SBS are ongoing, with newer developments yet to be fully explored.

Short Bowel Syndrome

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1971
Because today’s surgeons are able to resect long lengths of intestine with good survival rates, the short bowel syndrome — characterized by diarrhea with impaired absorption of fats, vitamins, and other nutrients, and in some instances severe gastric hypersecretion — is seen in an increasing number of patients. Management of these defects depends on an

Short Bowel Syndrome

Digestion, 1990
Nine patients with short bowel syndrome and high intestinal output received octreotide either intravenously (50-100 micrograms t.i.d.) or subcutaneously (100 micrograms b.i.d.) on 2 test days. In the 6 patients with net secretory output, there was a reduction in mean daily intestinal output of 0.5-5.0 kg; total daily intestinal output of sodium and ...

Short-Bowel Syndrome

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2005
Short bowel syndrome is a diagnosis that is a significant life burden for the child and his or her caregivers. It typically results from the loss of a large segment of the small intestine leading to malabsorption of nutrients. In the most severe form of intestinal failure, the patient is dependent on intravenous nutrition for survival.

Short Bowel Syndrome

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1992
With utilization of the techniques discussed in this review, patients with short bowel syndrome can be expected to live prolonged lives, even after fairly massive resection. Advances in parenteral and home parenteral nutrition and changes in the long-term management of chronic complications have altered the lifestyles of patients with short bowel ...

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 ...

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),

Neonatal short bowel syndrome

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2011
Neonatal short bowel syndrome is a disease with a high morbidity and mortality. The management of these patients is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Recent advances in medical and surgical treatment options have improved outcomes. The following review highlights salient points in the management of this challenging patient population.

Postoperative Short Bowel Syndrome

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2005
Unanticipated massive resection after intraabdominal procedures is an increasing cause of short bowel syndrome (SBS). Our aim was to determine the frequency and potential mechanisms of postoperative SBS.We reviewed retrospectively the clinical course of 210 adult patients with SBS evaluated over a 20-year period.Fifty-two (25%) patients had ...
