Long term survival (4 patients over 10 years) and low complications rate, comparable to reported from West European countries and USA, shows HPN possible in Poland and developed HPN model is efficient and safe method of life-restoring therapy with long term survival of patients with severe disturbances of absorption otherwise leading to death by starvation.
