Short bowel original description

Quote from "Pediatric Surgery (Springer Surgery Atlas)" by Prem Puri, Michael E. Höllwarth -

"The term “short bowel” was defined by Rickham in 1967 as a small intestinal remnant of 75 cm or less in the newborn, which equals 30% of normal small bowel length in that age group. A more functional description, preferred by most authors, defines a “short bowel syndrome” (SBS) as a state of significant maldigestion and malabsorption due to an extensive loss of functional absorptive intestinal surface area."
