“…In our opinion, the technique described by Kimura and Soper and the tapering technique for segmental dilations are too risky. Other techniques, such as reversed intestinal segments [39, 40], electrical pacing [41, 42, 43], antiperistaltic segments [44, 45], use of small bowel neomucosa [11, 46], artificial sphincter [47, 48, 49], intestinal recirculation, intrinsic myenteric denervation, or colon interposition, have been anecdotally performed, and it is difficult to generalize their results. Interventions such as elongation after intestinal bipartition (longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring) [50, 51, 52] or DBG are useful and applicable in cases of long dilated segments.…”
