Abstract

PURPOSE OF REVIEW

Medical intestinal rehabilitation is a part of the very complex management of patients with intestinal failure. The goal is to achieve enteral autonomy and minimize need for parenteral nutrition and hydration. In this manuscript, we will review the strategies to achieve this goal with dietary optimization and pharmacologic interventions.

RECENT FINDINGS

We will review the most updated recommendations on medical management of patients with intestinal failure.

SUMMARY

Medical intestinal rehabilitation is just a portion of a multistep strategy that aims to minimize need of parenteral support in patients with intestinal failure, with the ultimate goal of achieving enteral autonomy. This needs to be done by a multidisciplinary team via dietary and pharmacologic optimization.
