- Abstract:
- From 1976 to 1998 we have treated 17 neonates with short-bowel syndrome. Those 8 patients who had an intact ileocecal valve as well as the total colon preserved did significantly better than the 9 children without ileocecal valve and > 50% missing colon. In addition to the length of the intestinal remnants, motility had a major impact on the incidence of complications and final outcome. Four patients died (23.5%). All of them had an intestinal length of less than 30 cm, severe dysmotility, no ileocecal valve and an incomplete colon. The average duration of hospitalization of the children weaned from parenteral nutrition (n = 11) was 8.5 months. The majority of them still need supplementation of vitamins and/or trace elements. Two children suffer from recurrent d-lactic acidemia. Six children have a significant psychomotor developmental delay with three suffering from congenital cerebral abnormalities.
