Abstract

The short bowel syndrome (SBS, or simply short gut) is the most common cause for the chronic intestinal failure (CIF). The purpose of the study was to present the results of treatment of infants at risk for the development of post-resection SBS and the formation of CIF. Research materials and methods: 22 children threatened by the formation of post-resection SBS were treated in the Surgical Department of Newborns and Infants of the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health (Moscow, Russia) from 2017 to 2021. Results: All patients have undergone the surgical treatment. The scope of the surgical intervention included adhesiolysis with the imposition of an interintestinal anastomosis. Simultaneous imposition of multiple interintestinal anastomoses (more than 4) was performed in 7 patients (32%). As a result, the CIF formation was avoided in 8 patients (36%) by maintaining the total length of the remaining small intestine. The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 46 months. Currently, 2 patients (9%) receive partial parenteral nutrition, and in 17 patients (77%) it was possible to achieve completely autonomous enteral nutrition. A lethal outcome was stated in 3 patients (14%) due to the development of a catheter-associated infection. Conclusion: in the course of this work, the principles of surgical treatment of patients threatened by the development of post-resection SBS and the formation of CIF were developed. Adequate parenteral and enteral nutrition can optimize intestinal adaptation and improve the nutritional status of the pediatric patient.
