Abstract
The short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a severe disorder caused by a significant loss of absorption capacities of the intestine due to its resection manifested as pronounced chronic intestinal insufficiency. We aimed at the investigation of the SBS causes at different intervals. The study was conducted in collaboration with the department of pediatric surgery of the RCCH (Republican Children’s Clinical Hospital) and Mannheim clinics of pediatric surgery at Heidelberg University (Germany). The most frequent causes of SBS in children are necrotizing enterocolitis, gastroschisis, small intestine atresia, twisted bowel, etc. According to our studies, gastroschisis was the most frequently occurred cause whereas necrotizing enterocolitis occupied the 2nd position on the list. Atresia and twisted bowel held the 3rd and 4th positions. However, it should be mentioned that the share of patients with SBS following necrotizing enterocolitis has increased considerably lately.
