Epithelial Ion Transport in Spring-Lengthened Jejunum in a Porcine Model

Abstract

Loss of functional small intestine in short bowel syndrome results in profound nutrient malabsorption and diarrhea. We previously developed an expandable spring device that triggers intestinal lengthening. The aim of this study was to assess the functional ion transport capabilities of spring-lengthened jejunum.
