The intestine had to be removed because of a disorder or injury.
They have multiple tumors, chronic abscesses, or other problems that block the intestine.
They need to be fed intravenously (total parenteral nutrition) but no longer can be because of problems, such as liver failure or recurring infections.Small intestine transplantations are being done less frequently because there are new treatments and techniques that make transplantation less necessary.
After 3 years, more than 50% of small intestine transplants are still functioning, and about 65% of people who have had an intestinal transplant are still alive.
