To define the the role of small bowel length in development of SBS.Seventeen patients with SBS after small bowel resection in neonatal period were included into the study. Total small bowel length ranged from 5 to 55 cm (11.8±5.59% from normal length for certain age).Described small bowel length has high risk of SBS/IF development irrespective to other factors (specific segment of small bowel that was resected, preserved intestinal segment state, absence of colon and/or ileocecal valve).It is required to perform further studies with greater amount of patients to discover exact small bowel length which is associated with SBS and other factors affecting small bowel state.
