Abstract

The past three decades have endorsed tremendous growth in the nutritional, medical, and surgical management of patients with complex abdominal pathology and gastrointestinal failure. As efforts to conservatively rehabilitate reached a plateau, innovative surgical techniques were developed to further enhance absorption, facilitate motility, and restore homeostasis to limited, diseased, or disordered bowel. Surgical strategies are highly individualized and are guided by the type of gut failure, residual gut anatomy, and surgical candidacy. Patient selection and evaluation is thoroughly discussed, and a new classification for surgical candidates with gut failure is introduced to guide the development of an optimal therapeutic plan.
