ABSTRACT
Short-bowel syndrome is a challenging entity for the gastroenterologist, requiring integration of medical, nutritional, surgical and psychological therapies. Treatment must be based on the patient's age, remaining gastrointestinal anatomy, baseline nutritional status and underlying general health as well as the numerous complications which may arise. This chapter reviews physiological alterations that occur with short-bowel syndrome and how therapies can be tailored to most adequately meet the needs of these patients. Emphasis on early stages of therapy to enhance intestinal adaptation is focused on as management during this time has a significant impact on the long-term outcome of these patients.
