  SBS can result from extensive surgical resection or congenital intestinal diseases. The most common pathologies that lead to SBS in adults are Crohn disease, mesenteric ischemia, radiation enteritis, post-surgical adhesions, and post-operative complications. In children, the most common pathologies include volvulus, intestinal malformations, and necrotizing enterocolitis.[1] […] About 75% of cases of SBS develop after a single, massive resection of bowel; whereas, the remaining 25% occur after multiple resections. […] The primary adverse outcome of SBS is malabsorption secondary to decreased intestinal absorptive surface area and rapid intestinal transit. […] The primary pathophysiological mechanism of chronic intestinal failure secondary to SBS is intestinal malabsorption due to the loss of intestinal absorptive surface and more rapid intestinal transit.

[…] Studies by Ladefoged et al and Nightingale and Lennard-Jones found that Crohn disease has become the most common etiology of SBS in adults, accounting for 50-60% of cases. Other important causative entities include mesenteric ischemia and radiation enteritis. […] Leading pediatric and neonatal etiologies of SBS include necrotizing enterocolitis, multilevel small-bowel atresia, and midgut volvulus with ischemic bowel infarction. […] In a study of 114 infants with jejunoileal atresia, Stollman et al found that surgical treatment (which included resection with primary anastomosis in 69% of the children and temporary enterostomy in 26% of them) resulted in SBS in 15% of the patients. This led the investigators to suggest that SBS was the chief factor behind longer hospital stays and increased feeding problems and rates of morbidity and mortality in infants who are surgically treated for jejunoileal atresia.

  Short bowel syndrome (SBS) can occur from major surgery where a large part of the intestine is removed, or from birth defects affecting the intestine. In adults, SBS is often caused by conditions such as Crohn’s disease, blocked or reduced blood supply to the intestines (mesenteric ischemia), damage caused by radiation treatment (radiation enteritis), scar tissues that form after surgery (post-surgical adhesions), and complications after surgery. […] For children, common causes of SBS include twisting of the intestines (volvulus), problems with how the intestines are formed (intestinal malformations), and a serious intestinal disease common in premature babies called necrotizing enterocolitis.

  Short bowel syndrome (SBS), which is also called short gut syndrome, is when the small intestine is not absorbing the right amounts of nutrients and fluids. It can happen because too much of the small intestine is missing or because it is not working as well as it should. […] In most cases, SBS occurs after there have been one or more surgeries on the small intestine. Surgery on the small bowel could be done to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cancer, or an injury. […] There are a few other causes of SBS that are found in children. These include: Gastroschisis: A condition that causes an infant to be born with their intestines outside of their abdomen; Intestinal atresia: When a person is born with a small intestine that is blocked or incomplete; Malrotation: When a baby is born with a twisted small intestine; Necrotizing enterocolitis: A condition that may occur in premature infants that causes damage to intestinal tissue.

  SBS results following intestinal resection in adults, causing an inadequate intestinal length resulting in insufficient digestion and malabsorption of macronutrients and micronutrients, water, and electrolytes. Several aspects determine the severity of this case and its manifestation. These include the loss of absorptive surface area, loss of site-specific transport processes, loss of endocrine cells and GI hormones, rapid intestinal transit time, colon removal, small intestinal dysbiosis because of altered motility, and the loss of ileocecal valve. An individual becomes malnourished and requires supplemental dietary intervention to support his health. […] The nutritional deficits depend on the anatomically resected portions of the intestine. Furthermore, the most common types of SBS are type 3, which include jejunoileal anastomosis (where parts of the jejunum or ileum are resected with an intact colon), jejunal-colic anastomosis (where the ileum is resected), and terminal jejunostomy (where a stoma in the abdomen is formed following the complete resection of the ileum and colon while preserving part of the jejunum). These surgeries will create changes in the normal anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract and will furtherly affect its absorptive function.

  https://www.wjgnet.com/2307-8960/full/v10/i31/11273.htm

  When intestinal failure occurs after bowel resection, trauma, infarction, congenital defects, or diffuse loss of absorptive surface due to a gastrointestinal (GI) disease, the condition is then termed SBS. This emphasizes that the pathophysiology of SBS involves functional impairment more than anatomical impairment.

• #73 Short Bowel Syndrome | Doctor

  https://patient.info/doctor/short-bowel-syndrome

  Short bowel syndrome (SBS) in adults is defined as less than 180 to 200 centimetres of remaining small bowel leading to malabsorption and malnutrition and the need for nutritional and fluid supplements. There is currently no accepted definition for SBS in children. The most frequent cause is surgical resection. […] The most common aetiology in adults is currently Crohn’s disease. […] The patient profile has changed over the years. Bowel strangulation and midgut volvulus were common aetiologies in the first decades of the twentieth century. By the 1950s and 1960s, the common causes had become mesenteric vascular accidents, including thrombosis and embolism of the superior mesenteric artery. […] SBS is not an inevitable consequence of loss of a significant amount of bowel. Other factors which come into play include: The length of premorbid bowel, which segment of bowel is lost, the age of the patient at the time the bowel was lost, the remaining length of small and large intestine, and whether the ileocaecal valve is present or absent.

  Short bowel syndrome is a malabsorption disorder. […] Common reasons for extensive resection are Crohn disease, mesenteric infarction, radiation enteritis, cancer, volvulus, and congenital anomalies. […] Because the jejunum is the primary digestive and absorptive site for most nutrients, jejunal resection leads to loss of absorptive area and significantly reduces nutrient absorption. […] The ileum is the site of vitamin B12 and bile acid absorption. Severe diarrhea and bile acid malabsorption result when 100 cm of the ileum is resected. […] Resection of the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve can predispose to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. […] Extensive resection or loss of small bowel can cause significant diarrhea and malabsorption. […] Patients with 100 cm of remaining jejunum may survive on small feedings that are high in fat and protein and low in carbohydrate.

  SBS is the result of physical loss and functional deficiency of portions of the intestine, primarily due to surgical resection. […] An SBS diagnosis can involve identifying one or more possible pathophysiologies, underlying diseases, or congenital conditions. As a heterogeneous condition, SBS can result from a number of etiologies or factors. […] Common causes of SBS include vascular events (eg, embolism, thrombosis), Crohn’s disease, complications from bariatric surgery, and trauma. […] Any resection can impact GLP-2 secretion resulting in SBS. […] Patients with SBS may have limited GLP-2 secretion due to the removal of L cells following resections.

• #79 What Is Short Bowel Syndrome? | SBS

  https://www.shortbowelsyndrome.com/what-is-sbs

  Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a serious and chronic malabsorption disorder. SBS occurs when parts of the intestine are removed surgically and the remaining intestine may not be able to absorb enough nutrients from food and drink. […] There are many diseases and conditions that could require surgical removal of intestines, which may increase the risk for SBS, including: Crohns disease, bariatric or gastric bypass surgery complications, trauma, injury to blood vessels, cancer surgery, and volvulus. […] When parts of the intestines are removed, key hormones for absorption may be affected. One example of those hormones is glucagon-like peptide-2, also known as GLP-2, which helps the body absorb nutrients or fluids. […] Since people with SBS have had parts of their intestines removed, they may not make enough GLP-2 or other key hormones involved in absorption.

  This is a disorder caused when an infant is missing certain kinds of nerves in a segment of the intestine. […] Other conditions may include trauma to the intestines (from an accident, for example). […] SBS results from the body’s inability to absorb enough nutrition from food and drinks. […] For many children with SBS, intestinal adaptation is the body’s natural response to a shorter intestinal system. […] Successful adaptation allows children to grow and remain healthy. […] Surgical solutions or prescription medicines may help some children achieve independence from PS. […] Parenteral support will likely be used for some period of time following your child’s surgery. […] Transitioning from parenteral support to enteral nutrition, which may be a mix of tube feeding and oral intake, can take a year or longer when it is possible. […] Even after a child has completely weaned off parenteral support, they remain at risk for nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamins or iron.

  Malabsorptive disorders may result from the loss of bowel mass secondary to surgical resection of the small intestine. One of the rare disorders called short bowel syndrome (SBS) (180-200 cm of remaining small bowel) can occur. SBS can also be caused by inflammatory bowel syndrome, vascular diseases, neoplasms, etc. The condition may present clinically depending mainly upon the remaining anatomical portion of the intestine and its related function, which makes the clinical representation of the disease variable. […] Since the length and function of the intestine are compromised, it leads to loss of nutrients, fluid, and weight loss due to malabsorption. Symptoms of electrolyte disturbances and deficiencies of micronutrients and vitamins occur clinically. Patients with SBS may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, dehydration, and malnutrition. Patients lifestyles may be impaired due to secondary lactose intolerance, gastric acid hypersecretion, metabolic acidosis, biliary and renal oxalate calculi, and dehydration.
