ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Massive small bowel resection (MSBR) with a remnant jejunum shorter than 60 cm produces severe water, electrolytes, vitamins and protein-caloric depletion. While waiting for a viable intestinal transplantation, most of MSBR patients depend on total parenteral nutrition (TPN). CLINICAL CASE: 32 years old male, with MSBR due to sectioning trauma of the superior mesenteric artery root. First surgical intervention: jejunostomy with small bowel, right colon, and spleen resection. Six months later: jejunocolic anastomosis with 12-cm long jejunum remnant and prophylactic cholecystectomy. NUTRITIONAL INTERVENTION: 1st phase. Hemodynamic stabilization and enteral stimulation (6 months): TPN + enteral nutrition with elemental formula + oral glucohydroelectrolitic solution (OGHS) + 15 g/d of oral glutamine + omeprazol. Clinical course indicators: biochemistry, I/L balance. 2a phase. Digestive adaptation with colonic integration (8 months): replacement of TPN by part-time peripheral PN. Progressive cooked diet complemented with pancreatic poly-enzyme preparation, omeprazol, OGHS, glutamine, elemental formula. Clinical course indicators: biochemistry, diuresis, weight and feces. 3a phase. Auto-sufficiency without parenteral dependence: fragmented free oral diet supplemented with pancreatic poly-enzyme preparation, mineralized beverages, enteral formula supplement, Ca and Mg oral supplements, oral multivitamin and mineral preparation, monthly IM vitamin B12. Current situation actual (52 months): slight ponderal gain, diuresis > liter/day, 2-3 normal feces, no clinical signs of any deficiency and normal blood levels of micronutrients. CONCLUSION: It may be possible to withdraw from PN in MSBR considering, as in this case, favorable age and etiology and early implementation of an appropriate protocol of remnant adaptation.

Introducción: La resección masiva de intestino delgado (RMID) con remanente inferior a los 60 cm de yeyuno ocasiona una grave depleción hidroelectrolítico-vitamínica y calórico-proteica. En espera de trasplante intestinal viable la mayoría de RMID dependen de la Nutrición Parenteral (NPT). Caso clínico: Varón de 32 años. RMID por traumatismo seccionante de la raíz de la arteria mesentérica superior. En primera intervención de urgencia : yeyunostomía con resección de I. Delgado, colon derecho y bazo. A los 6 meses: anastomosis yeyunocólica con remanente yeyunal de 12 cm y colecistectomía profiláctica. Actuación nutricional: 1ª fase.Estabilización hemodinámica y estimulación enteral (6 meses): NPT + Nutrición Enteral con fórmula elemental + solución oral glucohidroelectrolítica (SOGH) + 15 g/d de glutamina oral + omeprazol. Indicadores de progresión: bioquímica, balance I/P. 2ª fase.Adaptación digestiva con integración del colon ( 8 meses): Sustitución de NPT por NP Periférica a tiempo parcial. Dieta culinaria progresiva asociada a polienzimático pancreático, omeprazol, SOGH, glutamina, fórmula elemental. Indicadores de progresión: bioquímica, diuresis, peso y deposiciones. 3ª fase. Autosuficiencia sin dependencia parenteral: Dieta oral libre fragmentada asociada a polienzimático pancreático, bebidas mineralizadas, complemento enteral de fórmula, suplementos orales de Ca y Mg, polivitamínico-mineral oral, vitamina B12 im/mensual. Situación actual (52 meses de evolución): Ligera ganancia ponderal, diuresis > litro/día, 2-3 deposiciones normales, sin signos clínicos de deficiencias y valores de micronutrientes en sangre normales. Conclusión: Prescindir de la NP en RMID es posible considerando, como en este caso, una edad y etiología no desfavorables, y la precoz aplicación de un protocolo de adaptación del remanente adecuado
