Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Organ Transplantation
  • Immunosuppression

Context:

  • Extensive experimental research in small bowel preservation, autotransplantation, and allotransplantation preceded human trials.
  • The advent of cyclosporine enabled the initiation of human intestinal transplantation procedures.
  • Recent clinical experience includes three intestinal transplantations performed by a Paris-based surgical group.

Purpose:

  • To report on recent human intestinal transplantations.
  • To outline the primary indications for intestinal transplantation.
  • To highlight the complexities and ongoing challenges in small bowel transplantation.

Summary:

  • Indications for intestinal transplantation primarily involve subtotal small bowel resections in pediatric and adolescent patients, and extensive resections in neonates.

  • The small bowel is noted to encapsulate many difficulties encountered in other organ transplantations, underscoring its complexity.
  • Despite progress, the field requires further advancements to overcome the unique challenges associated with intestinal transplantation.

    • Impact:

    • Advances in experimental surgery and immunosuppression have paved the way for clinical intestinal transplantation.
    • Established indications provide guidance for patient selection in complex gastrointestinal surgical cases.
    • Recognizing the small bowel's unique challenges stimulates further research and development in transplantation medicine.
