In 2002, Children's doctors performed the world's first serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) procedure, a surgical technique developed by Tom Jaksic, MD and Heung Bae Kim, MD, which lengthens the bowels of children with short bowel syndrome.
Since its invention, Children's doctors have performed seven STEP procedures with increasing success, establishing Children's as one of the preeminent hospitals in the world for the treatment of short bowel syndrome.
