Abstract
Jejunocolic anastomosis (JCA) is a surgical procedure that can result in various complications. Depending on how much of the jejunum remains, these patients are often defined as having intestinal failure (IF) because of short bowel syndrome (SBS). One of the significant complications among these patients is the formation of calcium oxalate renal stones. It has been estimated that 24% of patients with a JCA develop symptomatic renal stones. This narrative review aims to explore the nursing and dietary management strategies for individuals with oxalate stones following JCA. This includes providing adequate hydration, limiting dietary intakes of fat and oxalate, and optimising dietary intake of fluid and calcium whilst discussing the evidence for dietary magnesium, vitamin C and citric acid.
