Intestinal transplant is now considered a viable option for children with irreversible intestinal failure suffering life limiting complications of parenteral nutrition. Identifying the possible candidates and referring them early to the transplant centre allows consideration of transplantation before the clinical situation deteriorates, and ensures the establishment of communication pathways between the family, transplant centre and the patient's local team. This encourages optimal care both before and after transplantation, and has been shown to improve long-term outcome.There are different types of intestinal transplants that may be performed according to the indication. With improvements in surgical techniques, immunosuppression, early identification of rejection and good communication between professionals and families, outcomes for patients undergoing these procedures continue to improve.
