Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the evolution of intestinal transplantation.
  • To discuss the challenges and advancements in the field.
  • To establish intestinal transplantation as a viable option.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical data and clinical outcomes.
  • Analysis of immunological barriers and solutions.
  • Comparison with alternative treatments like TPN.
