Short bowel syndrome is the result of [[bowel resection]] following various causes including [[Crohn's disease]], [[Cancer|malignancies]], [[ischemia]], and [[Physical trauma|trauma]]. The [[small intestine]] less than 2 meters is considered as short bowel syndrome and requires [[Nutrition|nutritional]] therapy to prevent [[malnutrition]]. Post bowel resection adaptation might occur which includes structural, motility and functional changes in the remaining [[intestine]]. Changes usually start in the first 24 hours following [[bowel resection]] and last for about two years. [[Adaptation]] depends on multiple factors including individual, [[Intestine|intestinal]] and [[Therapy|therapeutic]] measurements. Following the [[bowel resection]], [[adaptation]] occurs in three phases including acute, adaptive, and maintenance phases. Successful [[adaptation]] depends on the length of remaining [[intestine]], portion of the resected [[intestine]], and early introduction of [[nutrition]] therapy. Total [[Intestine|intestinal]] [[adaptation]] defines as when patient is weaned from [[Total parenteral nutrition|parenteral nutrition]]. The main reason for [[malabsorption]] following [[bowel resection]] isreduced [[absorption]] capacity of the [[small intestine]] due to loss of surface area. On gross and microscopic pathology, the resected [[Intestine|bowel]] may show the underlying causes including [[Crohn's disease]], [[Cancer|malignancies]] or [[ischemia]].
