“…There are no reliable noninvasive markers of rejection, although some will follow serum calprotectin or citrulline levels as indicators of possible rejection. 21 Endoscopy with mucosal biopsy remains the gold standard for detecting rejection. The intestine is an immunologically challenging organ to transplant and, whereas mild and moderate cases of rejection can be reversed, more severe episodes remain difficult to treat and often lead to impaired graft function or loss.…”

Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) are optimally managed in centers of expertise with dedicated multidisciplinary intestinal failure (IF) teams. Over the life of a patient with SBS, many different surgical concerns may arise requiring intervention. These can range from reasonably simple procedures, such as the creation or maintenance of gastrostomy tube and enterostomies, to complex reconstructions of multiple enterocutaneous fistulas or the performance of intestine-containing transplants. This review will cover the development of a surgeon's role on the IF team; common surgical issues arising in patients with SBS, with a focus on decision-making rather than technique; and, finally, a brief overview of transplantation and some related decision-making issues.
