Abstract
The literature published during the past year has been dominated by the first publication of the clinical results of small bowel transplantation from the international Intestinal Transplant Registry. Indeed, recent advances in immunosuppression and the monitoring of rejection have brought small bowel transplantation into the realm of standard treatment of intestinal failure for certain conditions. This review focuses on current clinical results, indications of small bowel transplantation, and complications of the procedure. Preservation techniques, ischemia-reperfusion-related disorders, and surgical aspects are not covered in this review.
