Background

Intestinal transplantation has made dynamic progress in the last 20 years, benefiting from important developments in preservation technology, surgical technique, improved perioperative care, and innovative immunosuppressive strategies. It is now recognized as an established modality of care for patients suffering from failure of their intestinal function and requiring Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). The dramatically improved outcomes for intestinal transplantation over the last decade have allowed more patients to benefit from this therapy. More importantly, however, an important component of the legacy of intestinal transplantation has been the development of intestinal failure management which has opened a focus of multidisciplinary care to this field. This chapter is intended to review the various components of this field and address the challenges which remain to further progress, which include improvements in intestinal adaptation and prevention of TPN-associated...
