We report a case of short bowel syndrome (60 cm of jejunum anastomosed to the left colon) with reversal of the distal 15 cm of jejunum in a 21-year-old man. The nutritional absorptive capacity and digestive motility was studied for 18 months postoperatively. His absorptive capacity reached subnormal values allowing him oral nutritive autonomy and normal social life. The results of the manometric study suggested that the reversed segment delayed intestinal transit time. The prolonged contact of the chyme with the intestinal absorptive mucosa possibly increased its absorptive capacity. Our data and the literature reports suggest that reversal of a bowel loop could help wean patients from their dependence on parenteral nutrition.
