“…Intestinal failure encompasses those patients Although case reports exist of dramatic bowel adaptation and long-term survival with extremely short remnant small bowel length (i.e., 6 cm of jejunum), most patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) in the absence of nutritional support died with severe malnutrition, weight loss, and dehydration. 6,7 Successful introduction of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in the early 1970s dramatically altered the dismal survival in patients with extensive intestinal resections by providing nutritional support during the process of gradual adaptation. 8 For patients on TPN, the 1-year survival is generally good, ranging from 90% in children and young adults to 65% in older adults.…”

“…In the early 1950s it was believed that survival with less than one half of the small bowel length was improbable (7,8 ). This was q uickly challenged by reports of patients surviving with shorter and shorter lengths of bowel (14)(15)(16). The first comprehensive study of sh o rt bowel syndro me in children was published in 1972 by Wilmore, in which he reviewed the outcome of 50 infants (17).…”
