Segmental reversal of the small bowel (SRSB) has already been proposed in the management of short bowel syndrome (SBS)
as an alternative to intestinal transplantation.
1.
To date, SRSB has always been performed in patients with SBS in whom the colonic
segment or rectum is still in place. To our knowledge, SRSB has never been reported
in patients with SBS and an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. We report herein the first
case of successful salvage of a previous ileal pouch-anal anastomosis by SRSB in a
57-year-old woman with SBS secondary to an extensive bowel resection for a strangulated,
incisional hernia.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
