Lengthening using a gastric graft is technically feasible, with viability of the graft. Studies with swines with SBS in a larger cohort will be necessary to analyze stomach graft function. In the future, this technique can be a bridge to intestinal transplantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
