Editor's Notes
Slide of world case numbers
Over the last 20 yrs the numbers of SBT steadily increased to peak in 2008 but since this time cases have fallen considerably to reach an all time low for the last decade at around 100 in 2012 of which about 50 were in children and similar to the situation at the turn of the millennium. The reason for this remains uncertain but may be consequence of a more conservative approach to the use of the technique due to less than satisfactory survival figures reported by the international registry
It is our experience that About 3/4 of surviving patients end up eating normally and the other ¼ are divided between enteral and pn nutritional support
