<unk>  is a malabsorption disorder caused by the surgical removal of the small intestine. Most cases are acquired, although some children are born with a congenital<unk><unk> . It does usually not develop unless a person has lost more than two-thirds of their small intestine. Intestine has the ability to adapt following resection. Adaptation depends on multiple factors including individual, intestinal and therapeutic measurements. Successful adaptation depends on the length of remaining intestine, portion of the resected intestine, and early introduction of nutrition therapy. Total intestinal adaptation defines as when patient is weaned from parenteral nutrition. The hallmark of<unk>  is diarrhea. Complications might happen due to malnutrition, surgery and parenteral nutrition. Management of<unk>  consists of medical and surgical therapy. Medical therapy consists of nutritional therapy and pharmacotherapy. Patients who have severe or worsened malabsorption might require surgery including intestinal transplant. Effective measures must be adopted for secondary prevention of complications following total parenteral nutrition including liver disease, cholelithiasis, kidney stone, small<unk>  bacterial overgrowth, lactic acidosis, lactic acidosis.
