Purpose Of Review: Intestinal failure secondary to short bowel syndrome is still a very serious condition. Treatment consists of parenteral nutrition to provide nutrients and maintain body weight. During the last decades, intestinal lengthening procedures have become more available. The goal of this review is to discuss the results of the literature on the most commonly performed intestinal lengthening procedures.
Recent Findings: Longitudinal Intestinal Lengthening, Serial Transverse Enteroplasty (STEP), and Spiral Intestinal Lengthening and Tailoring (SILT) are currently the most frequently reported intestinal lengthening procedures. The most recent literature of these procedures is described with respect to indication, technical details, complications, short and long-term outcome, and PN independence.
Summary: On the basis of indication, surgical complexity, complications, and clinical success, we conclude that the STEP procedure is probably the best choice for most centers.

Gut microbiota prevents small intestinal tumor formation due to bile acids in gnotobiotic mice.

The gut microbiota is implicated in the development of intestinal tumors. Furthermore, Western diet is a risk factor for colorectal cancer and induces alterations in both the microbiota and bile acid metabolism. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the causal role of Western diet-induced changes in the microbiota and secondary bile acid production, which were linked to disease exacerbation in pigs.

Purpose: We aim to apply our spring-mediated intestinal lengthening technique to adults and children with short bowel syndrome. We hypothesized that spring-mediated intestinal lengthening would be achieved in adult and juvenile pigs.
Methods: Adult and juvenile pigs underwent insertion of a compressed spring into the jejunum.
Use of glucagon-like polypeptide 2 analogs for intestinal failure.

Introduction: Over a half century ago, a component of glucagon was found to have potent gastrointestinal effects. Shortly after proglucagon was sequenced, its component peptides were characterized, and glucagon-like polypeptide-2 (GLP-2) was noted to have the most potent intestinotrophic properties improving fluid and electrolyte balance in experimental animals and humans.
Areas Covered: Glucagon-like polypeptide-1 (GLP-1) slows small intestinal motility more effectively, but its intestinotrophic properties are weaker.

Concomitant with the rupture of the cloacal membrane in the 6th week of development, the intermediate layer of the perineal-skin epithelium thickens. We investigated its distribution and the development of the corresponding subcutaneous compartments in serial sections of female human embryos and foetuses and prepared 3D reconstructions to establish topographic relations. The thick-skin area becomes restricted to the outlets of the genital and intestinal tracts.

Background: Available guidelines lack in indications on surgical standard in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) AIMS: To determine the role of surgical strategies of colectomy and proctectomy with pouch-anal-anastomosis (IPAA) on functional outcomes in a nationwide population multicenter study. The secondary aims consisted of perioperative outcomes and complications.
Methods: Data on 379 patients who underwent total abdominal colectomy and proctectomy with ileo-pouch-anal-anastomosis (IPAA) with or without diverting ileostomy were retrospectively collected in a red cap multicenter-database searching for variables that could impact on pouch outcomes as cuffitis, pouchitis, anastomotic stenosis, pouch stenosis, failure or pathological Low-Anterior-Resection-Syndrome (LARS) score.
