  "textContent": "When parts of the small intestine are diseased or die, the treatment can involve surgically removing the affected tissue. Although lifesaving, the procedure—referred to as a radical small bowel resection—can lead to long-term liver damage and even failure, requiring a liver transplant. There are no medications to prevent or manage this serious complication that's been reported to affect up to 15% of patients after small bowel resection.",
