Abstract

Short bowel syndrome is a pathology in which the patient loses a large part of his small intestine after a surgical resection, depending on the type of anastomosis that the surgeon performs, it can be of 3 types. When considering all the functions that the small intestine performs, among them the most important are nutrient absorption and homeostasis in the body, for this reason losing a considerable portion can lead to intestinal insufficiency. Treatment is focused on replacing losses and treating symptoms; For this medical treatment to work, it must be multidisciplinary and if there is the possibility for a patient to be a candidate for a surgical procedure, it must be performed properly in order to improve their quality of life.
