Masterclass: Cutting edge: Intestinal transplant, future perspectives

Francesca,-Charlotte-and-Andrew.png

"Thank you very much to the BSG for the opportunity to highlight the current status of bowel transplant in the UK. We hope to convey that bowel transplant is no longer 'experimental', but offers patients a real chance of returning to a near 'normal' life off the constraints of PN. We outline the outcomes, complications and real life experiences of patients who have undergone life changing bowel transplants."
