ABSTRACT
Intestinal failure (IF) secondary to short bowel syndrome is a challenging and complex medical condition with significant risk for surgical and medical complications. Significant advancements in the care of this patient population have led to improved survival rates. Due to their intensive medical needs children with IF are at risk for long-term complications that require comprehensive management and close monitoring. The purpose of this paper is to review the available literature emphasizing the surgical aspects of care for children with IF secondary to short bowel syndrome. A key priority in the surgical care of this patient population includes strategies to preserve available bowel and maximize its function. Utilization of novel surgical techniques and autologous bowel reconstruction can have a significant impact on children with IF secondary to short bowel syndrome related to the function of their bowel and ability to achieve enteral autonomy. It is also important to understand the potential long-term complications to ensure strategies are put in place to mitigate risk with early detection to improve long-term outcomes.
