PERSONALITIES W E B C A M S SURGERY HEALS SHORT BOWEL SYNDROME IN KIDS We all need our intestines to digest food, but sometimes babies are born with intestines that are too short to process nutrients. Fortunately, there's a new type of surgery to help children with this deadly disorder. Transcript of the story Healthy For Life Extra extra information about the story For More Information where to go for help TRANSCRIPT For most parents, changing a dirty diaper is a dreaded task. Not so for Colston Galloway's mom and dad. Noah Galloway Colston's father "Not gonna' complain about it that's for sure because we waited so long for it to happen that we are happy to see that side, and we deal with the smell." Colston didn't have bowel movements after his premature birth. Intravenous nutrition called TPN kept him alive. Colston was diagnosed with short bowel syndrome. Most of his intestines were twisted and useless. Doctor Edmund Yang removed the dead section, but the remainder was stretched too wide to be effective. The old approach was to split and connect what was left, but Doctor Yang had a better way. Edmund Yang, M.D.

Short bowel syndrome is a malabsorption disorder caused by either the surgical removal of the small intestine or the loss of its absorptive function due to diseases In healthy adults, the small intestine has an average length of approximately 6 meters (20 feet). Short bowel syndrome usually appears when there is less than 1.8 meters (6 feet) of the small intestine left to absorb sufficient nutrients Contents Symptoms Causes Treatments Intestinal adaptation ... edit Symptoms The symptoms of short bowel syndrome include: Abdominal pain Diarrhoea Steatorrhoea or particularly foul-odored faeces Oily or sticky stool Fluid retention Weight loss and malnutrition Fatigue Patients with short bowel syndrome may have complications caused by malabsorption of vitamins and minerals, such as deficiencies in vitamins A, E, D, and B12, calcium, magnesium, iron, folic acid, and zinc. These may appear as anaemia, scaling of the skin or hyperkeratosis, easy bruising, muscle spasms, and bone pain. edit Causes Short bowel syndrome in adults is usually caused by: Crohn's disease , an inflammatory disorder of the digestive tract Volvulus , a spontaneous twisting of the small intestine that cuts off the blood supply and leads to necrosis or tissue death.

Digestive system organs Short bowel syndrome Definition Short bowel syndrome is condition of nutritional malabsorption related to the surgical removal or disease of a large portion of the small intestine. Alternative Names Small intestine insufficiency Causes When areas of the small intestine are removed surgically, there may not be enough surface area left in the remaining bowel to adequately absorb nutrients from food. This condition is particularly likely to develop when one-half or more of the bowel is removed during surgery. Risk factors include diseases of the small intestine that may require surgical intervention such as regional enteritis or Crohn's disease Necrotizing enterocolitis is a common cause of this syndrome in infants.

Figure 3 Figure above shows the basic anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract. Definition: The short bowel syndrome occurs from massive small intestinal resection leaving less than 200 cm (6.5 feet) of small bowel. In children, however, a length which is less than 30% of the normal length for age is the generally accepted definition of SBS. Etiologies range from a loss due to congenital anomalies, loss from necrotizing enterocolitis , resections due to strangulation of the intestine (volvulus) or from extensive resections for inflammatory bowel disease . Approximately 10 to 20,000 patients are cared for each year with SBS in the United States. Severity of the loss of intestine has generally been associated with a loss of excess bowel length or loss of the ileocecal valve. Over the past decade, it has been better appreciated that the severity of SBS is most correlated with the absolute function of the intestine. Many individuals with 40 cm of small bowel may eventually adapt and transition off TPN. More important is the need for normal motility of the stomach and small intestine, as well as the overall injury that the remaining intestine incurred.

Site Map Contact Us What is Intestinal Failure? Short Bowel Syndrome ... Links to Useful Sites What is Intestinal Failure? Definition (adapted from J Nightingale, 2003) : Intestinal failure is defined as the reduction of intestinal absorption so that macronutrient and/or water and electrolyte supplements are needed to maintain health or growth. Severe intestinal failure is when parenteral nutrition (TPN) and/or fluid are needed and mild intestinal failure is when oral supplements or dietary modification suffice. Most commonly, these patients have short bowel syndrome . Patients may also have a normal intestinal length; however, suffer from intestinal dysmotility, injury from radiation exposure (radiation enteritis) or malabsorptive processes which prevent adequate amounts of nutrition from being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. A variety of other motility disorders exist including drug induced visceral myopathy primarily due to the prolonged ingestion of laxatives. Infectious disorders can also effect the myenteric plexus and cause motility problems. Malabsorptive conditions may be congenital (child is born with the condition), or acquire.

Diarrhea, weight loss and malnutrition are the major features. For those reasons, patients with short bowel syndrome are unable to maintain nutritional or intestinal fluid and electrolyte balance using their intestinal tract. They become severely dehydrated, which can be life threatening. Additional problems associated with dehydration and malnutrition include weakness, fatigue and depression, as well as bacterial infections due to the breakdown of the protective layer of the intestinal tract. Traditional treatment Until recently, TPN was the only treatment to keep patients with short bowel syndrome alive. However, TPN is very expensive, costing between $200 and $500 per day when received at home and $500 to $1,500 per day to administer in a hospital. Annual costs can easily exceed $500,000 per year per patient. Many TPN patients are chronically ill, frequently hospitalized and subject to life-threatening complications, such as recurrent catheter infections or, especially in children, lack of vascular access. Additional problems are bone demineralization, electrolyte disturbances, gallstones, and pancreatitis. Moreover, TPN is also associated with liver damage, which can result in fatal liver failure. The reasons for liver failure in patients on TPN are still poorly understood. While the incidence of liver failure in adult patients on TPN is only five percent, it can be as high as 25 percent in children.
