short bowel syndrome (sbs)

What is the Prognosis for Neonates with SBS?

The prognosis for neonates with SBS varies greatly depending on the length and function of the remaining intestine, underlying conditions, and access to specialized care. With advancements in nutritional support and surgical techniques, many infants can achieve significant bowel adaptation and eventual independence from parenteral nutrition. However, they may still face long-term challenges like nutrient deficiencies and growth issues.
