Specific drug therapies in short-bowel syndrome are mainly aimed at decreasing gastric hypersecretion or decreasing diarrhea. Gastric hypersecretion may be treated by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or histamine-2 (H2) blockers in the early postoperative period.linical improvement was observed in 86% of these patients. In 1997, Thompson and Langnas reported additional results from nontransplant operations for treatment of short-bowel syndrome. Ninety patients were evaluated for possible surgical therapy. Of 43 procedures, 37 (86%) yielded clinical improvement.
