  2. Serial Transverse Enteroplasty (STEP) • Introduced in 2003 for intestinal lengthening and tapering in Short Bowel Syndrome • No single center is likely to obtain sufficient experience • Multicenter analysis needed

  3. www.STEPoperation.org

  4. Demographics • 38 patients have been enrolled through April, 2006 • Mean age at STEP 5.4 years (range DOL1 to 19.9 years) • Median Follow-up 11.5 months • 19 pediatric surgery groups have submitted patients

  5. Malrotation with Volvulus 2 Segmental Volvulus 2 Gastroschisis +/- volvulus 11 Congenital Shortened Bowel 1 Necrotizing Enterocolitis 7 Hirschsprung Disease 2 Intestinal Atresia 11

  6. Pre-STEP Post-STEP * n=27 p<0.0001 Mean 115cm* Mean 68cm Outcomes

  7. Pre-STEP Post-STEP * n=20 p<0.01 Mean 33% Mean 63%* Outcomes

  8. Complications *All mortality occurred from complications of liver failure after referral for transplant Total n=38

  9. Conclusions • STEP has been performed successfully and safely around the world • The indications for the procedure have broadened to include SBS, bacterial overgrowth and neonatal atresia • STEP is effective in bowel lengthening, increasing enteral tolerance and treating persistent refractory bacterial overgrowth • The complication profile of the STEP procedure is highly favorable

  10. Conclusions • Data provided by the Registry has helped to improve the operative technique and define the indications and outcomes of the STEP procedure • With continued accrual, the goal of the International STEP Data Registry is to assist in the process of patient selection and patient counseling
