BSG Guideline: The Management of adult patients with severe chronic small intestinal dysmotility

Abstract

Adult patients with severe chronic small intestinal dysmotility are not uncommon and can be difficult to manage. This guideline gives an outline of how to make the diagnosis.

It gives management guidelines for patients with an enteric myopathy or neuropathy including the use of enteral and parenteral nutrition.
