Introduction to Adult Short Bowel Syndrome

Short Bowel Syndrome is a condition that occurs when a significant portion of the small intestine is surgically removed or non-functional due to disease. This condition can lead to malabsorption of nutrients and fluids, resulting in a wide array of nutritional deficiencies and complications. Managing SBS requires a multidisciplinary approach, with close collaboration between healthcare professionals specializing in nutrition, medicine, and surgery.

Adult Short Bowel Syndrome: Nutritional, Medical, and Surgical Management starts by introducing the reader to the basics of SBS. The book covers the etiology, classification, and common complications associated with this disease. The authors provide in-depth explanations and insights into the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of SBS to ensure a thorough understanding of the condition.

Comprehensive Nutritional Care

A significant portion of Adult Short Bowel Syndrome is dedicated to the nutritional management of patients with SBS. The authors highlight effective dietary concepts and strategies to manage malabsorption caused by SBS. This includes the use of oral rehydration solutions, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition. By providing evidence-based guidelines and practical recommendations, the book equips healthcare professionals with the tools they need to optimize nutritional care for their patients.

Furthermore, the book explores emerging areas of research related to SBS, such as the role of the gut microbiome and the use of pre/probiotics. This information allows healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field and integrate new knowledge into their clinical practice.

Medical and Surgical Management

While nutrition plays a crucial role in managing SBS, there are instances where medical and surgical interventions are necessary. Adult Short Bowel Syndrome delves into these options, discussing pharmaceutical management techniques that complement nutrition interventions. The book also presents various surgical options that healthcare professionals can consider for their patients with SBS.
