The serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) is a safe and successful procedure to lengthen the small bowel. Several patients develop postoperative bowel redilatation with loss of bowel adaptation. We describe a 2-month-old male infant with short bowel syndrome who developed dilatation of the lengthened segment after STEP, which was successfully treated by a longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first described case of longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring procedure after STEP.
序贯性经腔肠排列术(STEP)是一种安全且有效的延长小肠的方法。一些患者术后会出现肠扩张,导致肠适应能力丧失。我们描述了一例短肠综合征的 2 月龄男性婴儿,在接受 STEP 后出现延长段肠扩张,通过肠延长和裁剪术治疗后成功缓解。据我们所知,这是首例 STEP 后行肠延长和裁剪术的病例。
