Popis: Objective: To assess the functional adaptation of the digestive remnant after extensive small bowel resection. Methods: A total of 50 patients who had had an extensive small bowel resection (residual small intestine 26-150 cm, median 70 cm) were studied longitudinally. None had chronic digestive disease. Early adaptation was assessed by following the evolution of faecal weight during the enteral refeeding period (first 3 months after surgery) in 34 patients, 19 of whom had a jejunostomy. Long-term adaptation was studied in 42 patients (all but one had intestinal continuity) followed for 13-248 months (median 87 months). Serial faecal analyses under the same dietary conditions were performed in 22 patients. Results: During the early period, faecal weight varied mainly in relation to enteral caloric intake
