Abstract:
Management of patients with short-bowel syndrome represents a formidable challenge. Aggressive treatment including nutritional care and anticipation of potential complications and rapid treatment of complications enhance outcome. New therapies offer the promise of significantly improving morbidity and mortality. Intestinal transplant is appropriate for infants who would otherwise die from liver disease, recurrent sepsis, or lack of venous access.
