Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is still a life-threatening disease in both children and adults. Although the therapeutic options are improving, challenges still remain, and to overcome these challenges is a major focus of SBS research today. In order to simulate anatomical and physiological conditions similar to those in humans for research, porcine models of SBS are often used. Various approaches for generating SBS models have been described in the literature.
