What is Intestine Transplant?
Intestine transplant is a complex surgical procedure that replaces a diseased or non-functioning small bowel with a healthy donor intestine, most often performed for patients with irreversible intestinal failure who can no longer tolerate long-term parenteral (IV) nutrition. It is considered when complications such as liver damage, recurrent line infections, or loss of venous access develop from prolonged intestinal failure. The procedure requires a highly specialized multi-organ transplant team and lifelong immunosuppression.
Who may be considered?
Intestine Transplant may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Transplant of the small intestine alone, typically performed in patients with intestinal failure but preserved liver function.
Isolated Intestinal Transplant
Most CommonTransplant of the small intestine alone, typically performed in patients with intestinal failure but preserved liver function.
Comprehensive Investigations
CBC, liver and kidney function tests, coagulation profile, viral serology (HIV, hepatitis B/C), CT abdomen with angiography, nutritional assessment, cardiac evaluation (ECG, echocardiography), tissue typing and crossmatch

Recovery and follow-up
Recovery involves a gradual reintroduction of oral feeding under close monitoring for graft rejection and infection, with regular endoscopic biopsies and lifelong immunosuppressive therapy. Most patients require several months of specialized follow-up before resuming normal activities.
Risks
Risks include graft rejection, serious infections due to immunosuppression, surgical complications such as bleeding or anastomotic leaks, and long-term risks of chronic immunosuppressive therapy. Multivisceral and combined transplants carry additional surgical and immunological complexity.
Alternatives
For select patients, alternatives include continued optimized parenteral nutrition management, intestinal rehabilitation surgery, or medical therapies to improve intestinal adaptation, though these do not reverse irreversible intestinal failure. Intestine transplant remains the definitive option when parenteral nutrition is no longer viable.
