A medical explainer on intestinal lengthening surgery is drawing attention, describing how surgeons extend the small bowel, a technique often used for patients with short bowel syndrome. The procedure, sometimes called serial transverse enteroplasty, involves cutting and re-stapling the intestine to widen and lengthen it, improving nutrient absorption. Viewers are sharing the clip as a striking look at a little-known surgical technique.
Why now: People are sharing a rare, visually fascinating surgical procedure that most have never seen explained before.
