Management of short bowel syndrome is complicated and requires close collaboration of all medical team members including the physician, nutritionist, and nurse with the patient and their families. Medical therapy consists of [[Nutrition|nutritional]] therapy and [[pharmacotherapy]]. [[Nutrition|Nutritional]] therapy is essential for short bowel syndrome and to restore the [[Intestine|intestinal]] [[adaptation]]. It could be provided through [[Mouth|oral]], [[Feeding tube|enteral]] and [[Route of administration|parenteral]] routes. The ultimate goal is to provide necessary [[Nutrient|nutrients]] via [[Route of administration|oral route]] other than [[Route of administration|parenteral]] or [[Feeding tube|enteral]] routes. All patients require enough [[fluid]], [[Electrolyte|electrolytes]], [[Dietary supplement|supplements]] and [[Calorie|calories]]. Medications are used to control [[symptoms]] of short bowel syndrome include antimotility agents, antisecretory agents, and [[Tropic hormone|trophic agents]]. Lifelong follow-up is usually needed. | |||

Overview
Management of short bowel syndrome is complicated and requires close collaboration of all medical team members including the physician, nutritionist, and nurse with the patient and their families. Medical therapy consists of nutritional therapy and pharmacotherapy. Nutritional therapy is essential for short bowel syndrome and to restore the intestinal adaptation. It could be provided through oral, enteral and parenteral routes. The ultimate goal is to provide necessary nutrients via oral route other than parenteral or enteral routes. All patients require enough fluid, electrolytes, supplements and calories. Medications are used to control symptoms of short bowel syndrome include antimotility agents, antisecretory agents, and trophic agents. Lifelong follow-up is usually needed.

Follow-up
- Close long-term follow-up is needed.
- Monitoring and measuring blood levels of nutrients are required.[14]
Table below summarizes the tests and imaging studies which are required in patients with short bowel syndrome when discharge from the hospital.
