“…Seventy-three percent of the authors performed a resection of 75% [10,13,16,18,21,22,24,26,27,28,32,33,34] or 80% of the small bowel [5,29,30,35,37], and in 8 and 19% of the articles, 90% [19,23] and 95-100% [7,25,30,31,36] of the small bowel was resected, respectively. The bowel was resected in two main areas: most of the authors described a mid-intestinal resection in which the remaining small bowel consists of equal parts of the jejunum and ileum [5,10,18,21,22,27,28,29,30,31,34,35]; other authors used a 75% resection model in which the jejunum was resected 0.5 [24,26,32] to 1 m [20,33] distal of the ligament of Treitz proximally and the ileum up to 2.5 m proximal to the ileocecal valve distally [13,16,20,24,26,32,33]. No author described a resection of the ileocecal valve.…”
