Intestine Transplantation in India

Overview

Intestine transplantation is a surgical treatment used to treat patients with intestinal failure and issues associated with parenteral nutrition (PN). The conditions that may require an intestine transplant can be discovered at birth or as the child grows older. For the human body and organs to operate properly, nutrients are required. If they can’t be consumed owing to intestinal failure, they’re given intravenously by total parenteral nutrition, which involves inserting a catheter into the patient’s neck, arm, chest, or groin. Because long-term use of a catheter increases the risk of infections, bone dislocation, and liver disease, an Intestine Transplant has become the only long-term treatment for intestinal failure

Procedure Details

In cases of acute or chronic intestinal failure, an intestine transplant involves surgically removing the diseased part of the small intestine and replacing it with a healthy small intestine from a donor. One of the rarest types of organ transplants, the intestine transplant's outcomes and survival rates have improved steadily over the past decade. A small bowel or small intestine transplant is another name for this procedure. People dependent on TPN long-term may suffer and require a small intestine transplant. If children are placed on TPN for an indefinite period, they are more likely to develop major infections or liver problems
