The length of intestine was nil in 4 cases, between 20 and 50 cm in 12 cases, and between 50 and 120 cm in 11 cases. A colon resection was performed in 20 cases. For 5 patients, a "double temporary intestinal stoma" for ischemic bowel was made. A "second look laparotomy" was performed in 11 cases. The definitive intestinal continuity restauration was made in 23 cases (7 immediately, 16 later) with 3 duodenocolic anastomoses. 8 patients were able to find back a oral alimentation. 19 patients (with 4 total bowel resections) received a home parenteral nutrition.
