The Path of Wellness: Insights and Strategies for Short Bowel Syndrome

The severity of the condition determines how it is treated. Additionally, it is based on how recently you had your small intestine removed. Your remaining intestine gradually adjusts after surgery. It becomes better at absorbing nutrients over time. A year or two may pass throughout this process. Depending on how much and what portion of your small intestine was removed, this varies.

Your healthcare practitioner could begin enteral feedings gradually as you recover. Through a feeding tube, this delivers liquid sustenance directly to your stomach or small intestine. Your healthcare professional will attempt to raise these levels over time.

Short Bowel Syndrome can be divided into categories based on morphological, pathophysiological, and postoperative factors. There are three anatomically distinct types of SBS: end-jejunostomy, jejunocolonic anastomosis, in which the jejunum is typically connected to the left colon, and jejunoileal anastomosis. The pathophysiological criteria can be further split into groups in which the colon is continuous and those in which it is not.

Intestinal malabsorption caused by decreased intestinal absorptive surface and quicker intestinal transit is the main pathophysiological cause of chronic intestinal failure consequent to SBS. The care of the three phases of SBS—the acute period, the adaption phase, and the maintenance phase—is essential to the patient's recovery from Short Bowel Syndrome.
