Longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring (LILT) is increasingly favoured as a treatment for short-bowel syndrome. In a personal series, 20 children underwent LILT between 1982 and 1997.There was negligible morbidity (hemiloop anastomotic stenosis in 2) and no operative mortality. At a mean follow-up of 6.4 years overall survival was 45%, and certain features were clearly related to outcome. Survivors had >40 cm of residual small bowel (commonly jejunum) and had little hepatic dysfunction despite parenteral nutrition of similar time and nature as non-survivors. Children who did not survive had
