INTESTINAL FAILURE DUE TO FIREARM INJURY: A UNIQUELY AMERICAN PROBLEM
Background: Pediatric short bowel syndrome (SBS) is often secondary to congenital malformations, such as midgut volvulus, or necrotizing enterocolitis. Traumatic injury secondary to firearms is a less common cause of SBS encountered in the United States. We aim to describe the morbidity affecting children with SBS secondary to gun violence.
