Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with short bowel syndrome. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with the goal to wean them off parenteral nutrition. Patients who have severe or worsened malabsorption might require surgery including intestinal transplant.

- Severe or worsened malabsorption
- Risk of permanent parenteral nutrition
- Recurrent complications
- Transplant is not the first-line surgical option for patients with short bowel syndrome. Transplant is usually reserved for patients with either:[1][2]
- Life-threatening complications of intestinal failure
- Irreversible permanent total parenteral nutrition requirement and episodes of sepsis
- Irreversible permanent total parenteral nutrition requirement and loss of venous access
Contraindications
- Transplant is contraindicated in patients with either:[3][1]
- Absolute
- Active infection

Surgery
- Approximately half of the patients with short bowel syndrome will require surgery. However, there is controversy over the efficacy of these procedures.[4]
- These procedures are usually performed by pediatric surgeons at a quaternary hospital who specialize in small bowel surgery.[2]
- There are two categories of surgery for short bowel syndrome including non-transplant and transplant interventions.[2]
