Abstract
Survival of massive mesenteric infarction through midgut resection and duodenocolostomy--a case report.
Highlights
Dear Editor: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a common consequence of small-bowel resection that is associated with severe malabsorption, malnutrition, imbalance of water electrolytes, and metabolism disorder
The prognosis of SBS depends on the anatomical identity of the residual small intestine and the length of the residual colon
In cases when smallbowel resection is inevitable, the selection of the surgical procedure and management of post-operative nutrition appear to be of cardinal importance
