Download the Residual Bowel App

The Residual Bowel App has been developed by Takeda Canada Inc. in partnership with pediatric surgeon Dr. Paul Wales.

1 Capture Data

Start by entering patient data such as age, height, or weight, then capture information about the bowel – either resection or residual data – during surgery.

The visual representation allows surgeons to easily select the regions of the bowel and enter data either manually or by scanning resected regions in real time.
Surgeons can also choose to enter data by using measurements or estimates based on the defined regions of the bowel anatomy.

Featuring AR Measurements

When using the augmented reality (AR) function, you can easily measure and record the resected bowel from your device, including curved segments, without any additional tools.

2 Create a Report

Using patient data and information collected about the bowel, the app uses published data to generate a patient report and calculate estimates reflective of the patient’s bowel.*

Resection Data:The app records the resected bowel and estimates the remaining bowel.
Residual Data:The app records the remaining bowel and estimates the missing bowel.

Record Additional Information

SBS type
Small bowel resection location (distal or proximal)
Ileocecal valve status
G-tube, feeding tube
Stoma

3 Export a Report

For privacy, patient data is not stored in the app. However, you can simply and securely generate a PDF of the report which can be emailed for inclusion in patient records. Or, choose to simply export the anatomical representation from the app to use as a reference for education or review.

“The Residual Bowel App can provide valuable information to clinicians for ongoing patient management. By capturing data such as location and length of bowel removed, as well as estimating the percentage of bowel remaining, it can equip a surgeon to provide clinicians with important information that will help with the ongoing care of a child with Short Bowel Syndrome.”
