Summary
Background
The resection of large segments of small intestine can cause short bowel syndrome.
Methods
A patient is described who underwent extensive bowel resection 15 years after vagotomy and antrectomy for peptic ulcer disease.
Results p The patient did not develop short bowel syndrome.
Conclusions
Acid reducing operations might have their place amongst other surgical procedures which have been proposed for treating refractory short bowel syndrome.
Zusammenfassung
Grundlagen
Nach Resektion großer Teile des Dünndarms entwickelt sich das Kurzdarmsyndrom.
Methodik p Ein Patient mit ausgedehnter Dünndarmresektion 25 Jahre nach Vagotomie und Antrektomie wegen Ulcus pepticum, wird beschrieben.
Ergebnisse
Der Patient entwickelte kein Kurzdarmsyndrom.
Schlu\folgerungen
Säurereduzierende Operationen haben neben anderen chirurgischen Maßnahmen ihren Stellenwert zur wirkungsvollen Beeinflussung des Kurzdarmsyndroms.
