Abstract

Management of the short bowel syndrome is a multidisciplinary and very complex problem. The authors report the successful long-term results of an original combination of autologous gastrointestinal reconstruction in a boy who at the age of 16 years lost all but 5 cm of the small bowel. This case demonstrates that lengthening and antipropulsive interposition of a long segment of the colon can be another alternative to early transplantation in exceptional cases.
