Twenty-six intestinal transplants have been performed since 1996 in 5 institutions: 14 deceased donor and 13 living-related donor transplants. The primary causes of intestinal transplants were short-gut syndrome (n=9), intestinal mobility function disorder (n=14), others (n=1) and re- transplantation (n=3). One-year patient survival was 88%, and 10-year patient survival was 62%. These results were excellent in regard to a standard therapeutic option for intestinal failure if patients fail to maintain total parental nutrition.
