Adult Short Bowel Syndrome: Nutritional, Medical, and Surgical Management

Adult Short Bowel Syndrome: Nutritional, Medical, and Surgical Management serves as a practical guide to the medical, surgical, and nutritional care of complex patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). The book provides practical information on SBS with the most up-to-date, evidence-based information currently available. Additionally, this text provides global perspectives and highlights emerging areas of research influencing care of patients with SBS. Intended for nutritionists, dieticians, physicians (specifically, general practitioners, gastroenterologists, and surgeons), nurse practitioners, pharmacists, students, and researchers, this book serves as a quick reference on the medical, surgical, and nutrition care of complex patients with short bowel syndrome and provides an analysis of the underlying nutrition research influencing the clinical care of these patients.

Presents emerging areas of research related to Short Bowel Syndrome (gut microbiome, pre/probiotics) as well as current applications in clinical practiceCompiles an overview, classification, and complications of the Short Bowel Syndrome disease stateContains effective dietary concepts (including rationale and use of oral rehydration solutions) for managing malabsorption caused by Short Bowel SyndromeIncludes medical and pharmaceutical management techniques to compliment nutrition interventionsDiscusses surgical options for consideration in patients with Short Bowel SyndromeHighlights International perspectives on treatment and careProvides quick reference tables, algorithms, case studies, and figuresUses experiential guidance from experts where no data exists to provide evidence-based guidance
