A member asked:
Can someone live with a 10 cm small bowel?her age is 35 and she recently got a enterectomy...if she can live what operation is recommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
10cm remaining?: If 10 cm of small bowel removed, not a big deal. If only 10 cm remain ( means loss of 12-16 feet) of bowel, that is major. Would cause profound effects, require lifelong total intravenous nutrition.
