Intestinal Transplant Surgery

Intestinal transplant surgery is a procedure where a damaged or diseased intestine is replaced with a healthy intestine from a donor. This surgery is typically performed on patients with severe intestinal problems that cannot be cured by other treatments. The operation involves removing the affected intestine and connecting the new one to the digestive system. After the transplant, patients will require lifelong medication to prevent their body from rejecting the new organ. This surgery can significantly improve quality of life for individuals who have serious digestive issues.
