Efficacy of autologous intestinal reconstruction surgery on bowel dilatation in pediatric small bowel syndrome

Abstract

Pediatric short bowel syndrome (SBS) may cause excessive bowel dilatation leading to worsened outcomes and autologous intestinal reconstruction (AIR) surgery. We addressed efficacy of AIR surgery by measuring duodenal, small bowel and colon dilatation in SBS children with and without AIR surgery in relation to parenteral nutrition (PN) dependency and healthy control patients.
