Abstract    Objective    To review the reoperation for short bowel syndrome patients with intestinal disorders.    Methods    From January 2001 to December 2010, a consecutive series of 198 patients with short bowel syndrome was reviewed, retrospective. Of the 198 patients, 76 patients with intestinal disorders underwent reoperation. They included 56 men and  16 women (median age, 37.98±13.75 years; range, 5－62 years).The remaining small intestine length was 72.53±41.83(0－150)cm. Results    Seventy-six patients underwent 124(1.63±0.46）reoperations, including takedown of enterostomy, drainage for intra-abdominal infections, intestinal resection and anastomosis including obstruction, fistula, protein-losing enteropathy, intestinal per formation and necrosis). The reoperation rate of SBS for intestinal disorders was 38.4% (76/198). Conclusion    The reoperation rate of SBS for intestinal disorders was so high. Reasonable surgical procedures in the paimary operation have the potential to reduce reoperation rate for small bowel syndrome.
