• Malnutrition

Short bowel syndrome is a complex clinical picture, characterized by signs and symptoms of malabsorption and subsequent malnutrition, which often occurs after extensive bowel resections.

For all these reasons, a multidisciplinary approach between the various specialists is therefore needed.
