Small bowel transplantation is now a viable option for intestinal failure, with survival rates improving due to advances in immunosuppression and surgical techniques. Ongoing research focuses on enhancing graft acceptance and managing complications to further improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation

Context:

  • Clinical small bowel transplantation has advanced significantly due to biotechnology and immunosuppressive advancements.
  • It is now indicated for specific cases of intestinal failure.
  • Over 600 clinical and experimental reports were reviewed.

Purpose:

  • To review recent developments in small bowel transplantation.
  • To discuss research progress, immunosuppressive strategies, monitoring, and surgical techniques.

Summary:

  • Approximately 700 small bowel transplantations have been performed globally.
  • Rejection and infection remain primary challenges.
  • Five-year graft survival rates vary: 46% for isolated intestinal, 43% for intestine-liver, and 30% for multivisceral transplants.

  • Experienced centers report higher survival rates, with one center achieving over 75% patient survival at one year.

    • Impact:

    • Small bowel transplantation has evolved from experimental to a feasible treatment for permanent intestinal failure.
    • Improvements in graft acceptance, immunosuppression, infection control, and surgical techniques are critical for better outcomes.
    • Refined patient selection and referral are essential for optimizing success rates.
