Abstract
Intestinal infarction is a condition with a high rate of mortality. Progress in the
fields of anesthesia, maintenance of electrolyte balance, and intensive postoperative
care has made survival possible in a number of patients subjected to extensive resection
of the small intestine. Many of these patients, however, later succumb to the effects
of malabsorption.
In this paper we report on a patient who has undergone massive intestinal resection,
because of venous intestinal infarction, and Mackby's operation, with favorable results
twelve months postoperatively.
