title: Magnifying endoscopy for monitoring intestinal adaptation: a case report.
abstract: A 33-year-old Chinese man with short bowel syndrome received intestinal rehabilitation therapy. We observed microscopically morphologic changes of remnant small intestine by magnifying endoscopy and histopathologic examination before and after 3 courses of treatment. The results revealed that the 2 methods have a fairly good correlativity, and magnifying endoscopy examination of intestinal adaptation in patients with short bowel syndrome possesses great applicative value.
