FAQ’S
How much of your small intestine can be removed?
The small intestine is extremely adaptable; in fact, even if up to 40% of it is removed, proper digestion is still possible.
How long is recovery from small intestine surgery?
A patient needs to spend 3 to 7 days in the hospital. If the surgery was an emergency, then they may need to stay longer. If a large portion of the small intestine was removed or a patient developed complications, they will need to stay longer. They should be able to drink clear liquids by the second or third day.
How dangerous is small intestine surgery?
Risks associated with small intestine surgery include:
- Frequent diarrhea
- Abdominal bleeding
- Pus in the abdomen (intra-abdominal abscess)
What happens when the small intestine is removed?
You can have issues with loose stools and having enough nutrients from your diet if a significant portion of your small intestine was removed. You may need continuous medical care if you have a long-term (chronic) condition like cancer, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis.
Can the small intestine grow back?
The intestine is the most regenerative organ in the human body, with its epithelium, or covering, regenerating every five to seven days. The epithelium can withstand the relentless wear and tear it endures when breaking down food, consuming nutrients, and removing waste thanks to continuous cell renewal.
Can you survive without a small intestine?
No, a person cannot live without a small intestine. It is not possible for the complete removal of the small intestine. Some patients may need surgery to have a portion of their small bowel removed.
