Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) is a condition characterized by malabsorption of nutrients due to a significantly shortened length of the small intestine. This condition often arises after surgical removal of a large portion of the small intestine, which can be necessary due to congenital defects, diseases, or trauma. In neonates, SBS typically results from surgeries required to treat conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis or intestinal atresia.
