Abstract
In summary, resection of the entire small bowel is feasible and can be a lifesaving procedure for a select group of patients. Long-term survival can be achieved in specialized centers. In addition, reestablishment of gastrointestinal tract continuity after total enterectomy appears to be the best option for postoperative fluid and electrolyte management.
