title: Dietary management of the patient with massive enterectomy.
abstract: We present two cases who required massive enterectomy and who represent different points in the spectrum of this disease. We discuss their management from a nutritional stand-point and show details of energy uptake and expenditure for one of our patients. This describes our approach to this problem, and we hope it will be of use to others when dealing with patients following massive enterectomy.
