Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Transplantation Medicine

Background:

  • Intestinal failure is a severe condition often requiring total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
  • TPN can lead to life-threatening complications, including irreversible liver injury and loss of vascular access.
  • Intestinal transplantation has become a viable therapeutic option for select pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the indications for intestinal transplantation in children.
  • To outline the pre- and postoperative management strategies for pediatric intestinal transplant recipients.
  • To review the outcomes associated with intestinal transplantation in the pediatric population.

Main Methods:

  • This article provides a comprehensive review of current practices and outcomes.
