In brief

This study examines anastomotic ulcers as a complication in pediatric intestinal failure patients, analyzing a large cohort to identify clinical risk factors and effective treatment approaches. The research addresses a gap in knowledge about this rare but significant source of morbidity in children with IF.

Anastomotic ulcers are a rare but significant complication in pediatric intestinal failure patients.
Large cohort studies are needed to identify risk factors for anastomotic ulcers beyond small case reports.
Understanding AU risk factors can guide preventive strategies in high-risk IF patients.
Treatment approaches for anastomotic ulcers in IF require evidence-based protocols tailored to pediatric populations.
