Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) in adults is defined as having less than 180 to 200 cm of remaining small bowel [1–4]. Many literature sources do not provide precise epidemiological data, challenges in estimating the prevalence of SBS include its multifactorial etiology and varying definitions [1–7]. The most common pathologies leading to SBS include Crohn disease, mesenteric ischemia, radiation enteritis, post-surgical adhesions, and post-operative complications [1,2,4–6]. In advanced SBS, parenteral nutrition may be required to ensure that all vital nutrients are delivered directly through the venous system, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract [1,8–10]. In this article, we present a clinical case of a patient who underwent parenteral nutrition for four months due to SBS. The surgical team performed reconstructive re-anastomosis of both the small and large bowel, leading to the discontinuation of parenteral nutrition and the resumption of a regular diet.
