Pediatric Surgery
Gastroenterology
Bacterial Overgrowth Syndromes

Background:

Anatomical abnormalities of the small bowel can cause intestinal stagnation, leading to bacterial overgrowth and Blind Loop Syndrome (BLS).
BLS results in malabsorption, steatorrhea, and deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins due to bacterial breakdown of bile salts and protein deamination.
This condition can arise as a complication of various pediatric surgical conditions.
