“…Intestinal lengthening involved longitudinal transection of the intestine between the mesenteric and antimesenteric edges and anastomosis of these parallel intestinal segments. 6 Clinical improvement was defined as reducing (Ͼ25%) or discontinuing PN requirements while maintaining body weight, resolving a specific anatomical problem (eg, obstruction or fistula, as demonstrated clinically and radiographically), ameliorating symptoms of malabsorption (eg, diarrhea or metabolic abnormalities such as hypocalcemia), or significantly improving (Ͼ25%) oral intake. Statistical comparisons were made using 2 analysis, with PϽ.05 signifying statistical significance.…”

“…O tratamento cirúrgico mais empregado para aumentar a superfície absortiva intestinal é o alongamento longitudinal descrito por Bianchi 2,3 , onde o comprimento do intestino delgado é duplicado. Essa técnica foi realizada inúmeras vezes, predominantemente em crianças com intestino curto 17,20,27,32 . Outro método para alongamento intestinal, que duplica o segmento remanescente, foi descrito por Kimura 11 , técnica esta, limitada pela dificuldade de abordagem da cavidade abdominal.…”

“…As causas mais frequentes no adulto são doenças malignas, radiação e insuficiência vascular; na criança, enterocolite necrotizante e anormalidades intestinais 27 . Apesar da notável capacidade de adaptação após ressecções extensas este mecanismo adaptativo pode ser sobrepujado se houver mais de 70% de ressecção ou menos de 200 cm de intestino delgado 8,14,15,16,28 .…”

“…Although malabsorption of nutrients in this syndrome can be overcome with long-term nutritional support via total parenteral nutrition (TPN), TPN is associated with potentially life-threatening complications, including sepsis and hepatic failure [1]. Surgical interventions, such as intestinal lengthening and tapering enteroplasty, and transplantation of the small intestine have been optionally performed for short bowel syndrome, however, outcomes of these therapies have not always been satisfactory [2,3].…”
