Thirty intestinal transplants were performed since 1996 in 6 institutions. There were 17 deceased donor and 13 living donor transplants. Primary causes of intestinal transplants were short gut syndrome (n=12), intestinal mobility function disorder (n=14), others (n=1) and re- transplantation (n=3). One-year patient survival was 89%, and 10-year patient survival was 54%. They were excellent results for a standard therapeutic option for intestinal failure if patients failed to maintain total parental nutrition.
