In this issue of Gastroenterology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Alan L. Buchman brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Advances in Intestinal Transplantation, Part II. In this second of two issues devoted to the comprehensive coverage of this topic, top experts discuss the complexities of intestinal failure (IF) and provide a better understanding of medical and surgical management. Coverage also includes assessment of when patients should be referred to select centers of expertise where both medical and surgical (nontransplant and transplant) modalities are available.- Contains 12 relevant, practice-oriented topics including innate and cellular immune responses in intestinal transplantation: new discoveries: altering the microbiome and implications for host metabolomics; vaccines and vaccine response: other maintenance care in the small bowel transplant patient; living donor intestinal transplantation; the stem cell niche in short bowel syndrome; and more.- Provides in-depth clinical reviews on advances in intestinal transplantation, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.- Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
