title: India's first successful intestinal transplant: the road traveled and the lessons learnt.
abstract: Intestinal transplant is a therapeutic challenge not just surgically but also logistically because of the multidisciplinary expertise and resources required. A large proportion of patients who undergo massive bowel resection and develop intestinal failure have poor outcome, because of inability to sustain long-term parenteral nutrition and limited availability of intestinal and multi-visceral transplantation facilities. We report the first successful isolated intestinal transplant from India.
