IOWA CITY, Iowa -- A 40-year-old Albion, Iowa woman today became the first patient to receive a small bowel transplant at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC). Debbra L. Taft, who required the transplant after surviving a near fatal car accident in 1991, was listed in stable condition after the 6-hour procedure. UIHC transplant surgeons Youmin Wu, Maureen Martin, and Ferdinand Ukah, and transplant hepatologists Michael Voight and Donald Hillebrand completed the procedure using the small bowel from a teen-age donor.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie
CONT

L'intestin est un organe complexe dont la transplantation a connu un développement moins important que celle d'autres organes. La qualité de la nutrition parentérale - thérapeutique de l'insuffisance intestinale- rend compte de cette situation. Les résultats actuels de la transplantation intestinale, nettement améliorés depuis l'utilisation du FK-506, justifient d'envisager plus largement cette thérapeutique.

Enteroclysis. Placing a nasointestinal tube with the tip near the duodenojejunal junction and introducing the barium at this site has a number of advantages. With this method there is no overlap of the stomach on the small bowel and there is complete control of the flow of barium through the small intestine. During the filling of the bowel, each segment can be observed under the fluoroscope. This small-bowel enema (enteroclysis) has the disadvantages of increased patient discomfort associated with the tube and usually more radiation exposure.
