The Department of Pediatric Surgery, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, 110 029, New Delhi aut Current status of small bowel transplantation in children [Elektronische Daten] [V. Bhatnagar] Small bowel transplantation is gradually changing from an experimental procedure to a very desirable and viable treatment option in children with irreversible intestinal failure due to either short bowel syndrome or functional impairment. Long term total parenteral nutrition and home parenteral nutrition would be necessary to manage these children in the absence of a small bowel transplant programme. Parenteral nutrition is also associated with complications which can result in chronic liver disease. In India, there is no infrastructure for this treatment option and even if it was there the cost of this method of treatment is likely to be more than the cost of post-operative immunosuppression. Small bowel can be transplanted as an isolated graft, in combination with the liver or as part of a multiviscera! transplant. The operative techniques have been standardised. Major post-operative complications result from sepsis and lymphoproliferative diseases. The best results have been obtained with a combined liver and small bowel transplant.
