2 INTRODUCTION Adults cm Children cm

3 CAUSES OF SGS : INTESTINAL ATRESIA MIDGUT VOLVULUS NEC. ENTEROCOLITIS CROHN S MESENTERIC VASCULAR DISEASE CARCINOMA RADIATION ENTERITIS/ REGIONAL ENTERITIS TRAUMA ILIOJEJUNAL BYPASS FOR OBESITY

4 FACTORS AFFECTING SEVERITY 1) EXTENT OF RESECTION / LENGTH OF RESIDUAL SMALL GUT. 2) SITE OF RESECTION. 3) STATE OF THE RESIDUAL GUT. 4) ILEOCAECAL VALVE. 5) COLON. 6) ADAPTIVE CAPACITY OF THE REMNANT GUT. 7) GENERAL FACTORS.

5 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY : 1) LOSS OF INTESTINAL ABSORPTIVE SURFACE. 2) MORE RAPID INTESTINAL TRANSIT. 3) PRIMARY ILLNESS

6 NORMAL LENGTH OF GUT PARTS PART OF GUT MOUTH - PYLORUS DUODENUM JEJUNUM&ILEUM COLON LENGTH 65 cm 25cm cm 110cm

7 GUT TRANSIT TIME : PART OF GUT STOMACH * FLUIDS OTHERS SMALL GUT LARGE GUT TR. TIME 30 min Few hours 4-6 hours 6-12 hours

8 DAILY FLUID TURN-OVER IN GIT: AMOUNT EXOGENOUS INTAKE ENDOGENOUS SECRETIONS : Salivary Gastric Bile Pancreatic Intestinal 2 Litres 1.5 L 2.5 L 0.5 L 1.5 L 1 L 9 L

9 CLINICAL FEATURES : DIARRHOEA / STEATORRHOEA ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE MALNUTRITION VITAMIN DEFICIENCY esp. B 12 GASTRIC ACID HYPERSECRETION LIVER DYSFUNCTION CHOLELITHIASIS NEPHROLITHIASIS BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH

10 ADAPTATION: 1) STRUCTURAL & FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN THE GUT. 2) ENTERAL NUTRIENTS ARE MUST. 3) ENTEROGLUCAGON HAS A ROLE

11 MANAGEMENT: THE COURSE OF ILLNESS IS DIVIDED INTO THREE PHASES: 1) IMMEDIATE POST-OP PHASE 2) TRANSITION PHASE 3) PHASE OF LONG- TERM COMPLICATIONS

12 Manag.Contd: IMMEDIATE POST-OP PHASE : Critical care Sepsis control Maintenance of Fluid/Elec. Balance Gastric acid suppression Total parenteral nutrition General care

13 TRANSITION PHASE : TPN-----EN / Home TPN Manag.Contd: Role of Antimotility / Antisecretory agents Dietary management: Small frequent meals Nutrients in simplest form Separate solid nutrients from liquids Avoid hyper-osmolar fluids Restricted fat intake Avoid high oxalate

14 MANAGEMENT OF LONG- TERM COMPLICATIONS : 1) Correction of nutritional derangements 2) Catheter related problems 3) Cholelithiasis 4) Nephrolithiasis 5) Liver dysfunction 6) Bacterial overgrowth

15 Manag.Contd: ROLE OF SURGERY : 1) Restoration of intestinal continuity 2) Enteroplasty / Lengthening procedure 3) Slowing down rapid transit: creating artificial valve construction of anti-peristaltic segment colonic interposition construction of recirculatig loop pacing with electrodes in retrograde fashion 4) Small gut / combined liver & small gut transplant 5) Management of complications
