This chapter highlights the history, indications, technical considerations, and common complications in the field of intestinal and multivisceral transplantation. In the United States, between 100 and 150 intestinal transplants are performed annually for the primary indication of intestinal failure. Relative to other transplanted organs, the operative procedure is often complex and the graft is highly immunogenic, which necessitates close postoperative monitoring. As a result, intestinal transplantation is only performed at specialized transplant centers and may represent the only life-saving therapy in patients who have failed medical treatment for intestinal failure.
