Long term experience of serial transverse enteroplasty in a single tertiary center
Background: Small bowel syndrome is the leading cause of intestinal failure in children. Adaptation after resection improves absorption but leads to complications due to bowel dilatation. Serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP), first described in 2003, lengthens and tapers the bowel. This study describes long-term outcomes of children undergoing STEP in a single tertiary center
