The number of potential candidates for small bowel transplantation in the UK is unknown. Potential recipients are those with irreversible small intestinal failure, including those treated with permanent parenteral nutrition. This study of one of the largest groups of patients receiving such nutrition identified ten of 25 adult patients as possible recipients. The remaining 15 were considered unsuitable, mainly because of multiple previous abdominal operations or abscesses. Extrapolation of these data to national figures on the incidence of irreversible small intestinal failure suggests that each year up to 20 new adult patients in the UK might benefit from small bowel transplantation.
在英国，小肠移植潜在候选者的数量尚不清楚。潜在受者是那些患有不可逆小肠衰竭的人，包括接受长期肠外营养治疗的患者。这项针对接受此类营养治疗的最大患者群体之一的研究，在25名成年患者中确定了10名可能的受者。其余15名被认为不适合，主要是因为之前有多次腹部手术史或脓肿。根据这些数据推算英国不可逆小肠衰竭的发病率，表明每年英国多达20名新的成年患者可能从小肠移植中获益。
