Abstract:
Objective To report 2 cases of acute rejection following small intestin vivotransplantation and to disscuss the diagnostic significance of endoscopy and mucosal biopsy.Methods Endoscopic observation and mucosal biopsies of the graft through the terminal ileum enterostomy were carried out. Results Acute rejection was diagnosed in two patients with human small intestin vivotransplantation in good time.Endoscopic and the pathologic manifestations of the graft during acute rejection were discribed.Conclusion Endoscopy and the pathologic examination of endoscopically guided mucosal biopsy specimens are the most reliable method for diagnosing acute rejection following small intestin transplantation.
