Small bowel transplantation (SBT) offers a chance to end lifelong parenteral nutrition. However, perioperative nurses face challenges managing complex post-operative care, including rejection risks and immunosuppression.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical innovation and immunology

Background:

  • Small bowel transplantation (SBT) is a complex procedure for patients with intestinal failure, offering an alternative to lifelong total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
  • Postoperative care is challenging, with risks of graft rejection and long-term immunosuppression complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the challenges perioperative nurses face in managing small bowel transplant patients.
  • To discuss the potential of SBT to restore oral nutrition and independence from TPN.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current challenges in perioperative nursing for small bowel transplantation.
  • Analysis of advancements in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive therapies.

Main Results:

  • Patients undergoing SBT often have prolonged intensive care unit stays and complex recovery.

  • Significant risks include graft rejection and complications from long-term immunosuppression.

    • Conclusions:

    • Advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppression are improving outcomes for small bowel transplant recipients.
    • SBT holds promise for enabling patients to achieve full oral nutrition and independence from TPN.
