Purpose Of Review:
Medical intestinal rehabilitation is a part of the very complex management of patients with intestinal failure. The goal is to achieve enteral autonomy and minimize need for parenteral nutrition and hydration. In this manuscript, we will review the strategies to achieve this goal with dietary optimization and pharmacologic interventions.
Recent Findings:
We will review the most updated recommendations on medical management of patients with intestinal failure.
Summary:
Medical intestinal rehabilitation is just a portion of a multistep strategy that aims to minimize need of parenteral support in patients with intestinal failure, with the ultimate goal of achieving enteral autonomy. This needs to be done by a multidisciplinary team via dietary and pharmacologic optimization.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
