Longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring

The longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring procedure is performed by transecting the duodenum and anastomosing the duodenal stump to the pancreatic capsule or duodenal wall left in place on the pancreatic capsule. There are also another ways of performing this procedure.[1] it is one of the surgical therapeutic options alongside with other surgical options such as small bowel segmental reversal, artificial intestinal valve construction, electrical pacing of the small bowel, serial transverse enteroplasty, or transplantation in treatment of short gut syndrome.[2]
