Abstract
Clinical application of the procedure for intestinal lengthening as described by Bianchi1 was first reported in a child by Boeckman and Traylor.2 This procedure is probably the most frequently used adjunctive procedure for short-bowel syndrome in children.3 However, to our knowledge, its use has been reported only in 2 adults.3,4 We present a case of an adult who underwent this procedure including the results of long-term clinical and radiologic follow-up.
