title: [Surgical and dietetic problems of subtotal resection of the small intestine in adults (author's transl)].
abstract: The human body badly tolerates the extensive loss of the small intestine by resection. Malabsorption of various substances is followed by severe deficiency symptoms. In recent years a longer survival with a satisfactory general condition was achieved by intensive postoperative care and adequate diet--in our own cases even in adults and in old age.
