Thirty-two intestinal transplants for 41 patients were performed since 1996 in 6 institutions. There were 32 deceased donor and 13 living donor transplants. Primary causes of intestinal transplants were short gut syndrome (n = 21), intestinal mobility function disorder (n = 18), others (n = 2) and re- transplantation (n = 4). 1-year patient survival was 90%, and 10-year patient survival was 54%. They were excellent results for a standard therapeutic option for intestinal failure if patients fail to maintain total parenteral nutrition.
