Intestinal transplantation is often the only alternative form of treatment for patients dependent on total parenteral nutrition for survival. Although a limited number of intestinal transplantations have been performed, results with FK 506 immunosuppression are comparable to those for other organ transplants. The impact of successful intestinal transplantation on gastroenterology will likely be similar to the impact of kidney and liver transplantation on nephrology and hepatology.
肠道移植通常是依赖全胃肠外营养维持生命的患者唯一的替代治疗方式。尽管进行的肠道移植数量有限，但使用FK 506免疫抑制的效果与其他器官移植相当。成功的肠道移植对胃肠病学的影响可能类似于肾移植和肝移植对肾脏病学和肝病学的影响。
