The relatively new concept of digestive insufficiency was born as a result of prolonged artificial nutrition. Digestive insufficiency may be of organic, functional or mixed nature; its medical and surgical causes are numerous. Artificial nutrition has become a major therapeutic adjuvant in all types of digestive insufficiency. By acting as a substitute for the intestinal function, artificial nutrition permits better tolerance of specific treatments thanks to the nutritional rehabilitation and intestinal rest which it provides for as long as the patients' malnutrition and digestive lesions make it necessary.
消化功能不全这一相对较新的概念是长期人工营养的产物。消化功能不全可能具有器质性、功能性或混合性；其医学和外科病因众多。人工营养已成为各类消化功能不全的主要治疗辅助手段。通过替代肠道功能，人工营养借助其提供的营养康复和肠道休息，使患者在存在营养不良和消化性病变而有必要时，能更好地耐受特定治疗。
