About Intestinal Transplant
The surgeon places donor small intestine in the abdomen and joins its blood supply and the bowel. It may be done alone, or together with the liver, stomach, pancreas or other organs when those are also diseased. A temporary stoma is often created so the graft can be checked. It is a rare, highly specialised operation under general anaesthesia.
The aim is to restore enough bowel function to eat normally and come off intravenous feeding. Results depend on the reason for intestinal failure, how ill you are beforehand, and rejection and infection, as the bowel carries many bacteria and is especially prone to both. Strong immunosuppression is needed, so close monitoring is a long-term commitment.
Plan for a stay of several weeks to a few months, with frequent endoscopies and biopsies early on to look for rejection. You should remain near the centre until it is safe to leave. Bring detailed records of your nutrition and previous surgery, and arrange a clear shared-care plan for home.
Usually a good fit if
- Short bowel syndrome or intestinal failure with failing parenteral nutrition, such as loss of central venous access.
- Recurrent life-threatening line infections or liver disease caused by intravenous nutrition.
- Motility disorders or tumours of the bowel needing replacement.
- Fit enough for major surgery and able to follow strict lifelong medical care.
May need to wait if
- Active infection or cancer that has not been cleared.
- Patients who can be maintained safely on parenteral nutrition or helped by rehabilitation surgery.
- Severe heart, lung or kidney disease that makes surgery unsafe.
- No reliable carer or inability to take lifelong immunosuppression.
How to prepare
- Complete the transplant assessment: nutrition status, central line complications, liver function, scans, infection screening and cancer checks.
- Optimise parenteral nutrition and line care with your intestinal failure team before travel, and confirm supplies for the journey.
- Review all medicines with your doctor; do not change them yourself.
- Confirm that the programme performs intestinal transplants regularly and accepts international patients on its list.
- Plan a long stay near the hospital with a carer.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- How many intestinal transplants do you perform, and what are your graft and patient survival results?
- Do I need an isolated bowel, or liver-inclusive or multivisceral transplant?
- Have you tried bowel rehabilitation, such as teduglutide or lengthening surgery, first?
- How is the graft monitored for rejection, and how often are biopsies needed?
- How long before I can eat normally and stop intravenous nutrition?
- How will my home team share care and manage the stoma?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No published intestinal transplant volumes; this is a very specialised operation.
- No intestinal rehabilitation programme to try first.
- Promising a donor on a fixed date without explaining allocation.
- No plan for endoscopic rejection monitoring and infection control.
Questions about Intestinal Transplant abroad
Which country is cheapest for Intestinal Transplant?
The lowest typical hospital prices are in India ($135,405), Thailand ($157,628), Turkey ($185,883), out of 9 countries we compare.
How long will I stay in hospital for Intestinal Transplant?
Most patients spend about 35 nights in hospital. Full recovery takes about 240 days; your surgeon will tell you when you are fit to fly home.
When can I stop intravenous nutrition?
Many patients begin to wean over weeks to months once the graft works. Timing varies with the type of transplant and complications.
What are the main risks?
Rejection, infection, graft-versus-host disease, lymphoproliferative disease from immunosuppression and kidney damage. Intestinal grafts reject more often than other organs.
Is an intestinal transplant my only option?
Not always. Rehabilitation, medicines such as teduglutide and bowel-lengthening surgery are tried first when suitable.
How long will I wait?
Waiting depends on blood group, size and urgency, and can be long. Your centre can estimate after assessment.
