At Meliva Kardiolita Hospital, Vilnius, Small Bowel Resection is performed using specialized small intestinal surgical techniques and comprehensive diagnostic assessment. Established in 1998, this JCI accredited hospital in Vilnius, Lithuania has 36 beds and offers advanced gastrointestinal surgery, minimally invasive procedures, emergency surgery, and postoperative care services.

Small Bowel Resection may be considered when a section of the small intestine is severely diseased, obstructed, damaged, or affected by a tumor. Before surgery, imaging studies, blood tests, endoscopy, or other investigations may be used to identify the affected area and assess the patient's overall condition. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the abnormal segment and reconnects the healthy bowel when it is safe to do so. In selected cases, a temporary stoma may be required.
