Abstract:
Intestinal failure is a syndrome characterized by a diminished intestinal function that is inadequate to maintain normal digestion and absorption, leading to systemic metabolic disorder and requiring long-term nutritional supplementation to sustain health and growth. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is one of the primary causes of intestinal failure. Given the significant differences among SBS patients, nutritional treatment strategies should emphasize individualization. This review focuses on SBS, combining its anatomical and pathological characteristics, to introduce nutritional support treatment plans and experiences for patients with intestinal failure.
