Key result
Massive small-bowel resection for mesenteric infarction achieved a 54% survival rate among selected patients, despite a 71% overall mortality rate for the entire explored cohort.

What are the outcomes and prognostic factors for survival in patients undergoing massive small-bowel resection for mesenteric infarction?
Massive bowel resection for mesenteric infarction is justified in selected patients, achieving a 54% survival rate in those resected, with better prognosis in younger patients without severe metabolic derangements.

May support resection in selected mesenteric infarction cases; leaves open prospective validation of selection criteria.
Sitges‐Serra et al. (1988) conducted an observational in Mesenteric infarction (n=83). Massive small-bowel resection vs. Non-resected patients was evaluated on Survival. Massive small-bowel resection for mesenteric infarction achieved a 54% survival rate among selected patients, despite a 71% overall mortality rate for the entire explored cohort.
