A member asked:
What would be the approx life span for someone that has intestinal malabsorption due to subtotal colectomy, ileostomy placement, short bowel syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe long: The colectomy and ileostomy will not typically shorten life expectancy. Short bowel syndrome may shorten life span, but it depends on severity. There are a few centers in the US that perform bowel lengthening procedures and small bowel transplant. Ask you surgeon about the severity of the short bowel, and think about support groups for ileostomy help. Hope this helps!
