Abstract
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the effect postoperative enteral nutrition support on the survival after orthotopic small bowel transplantation in mice. MethodsA model of orthotopic small bowel transplantation used C57BL/6 mice as both donors and recipients. ResultsWe demonstrated that postoperative ileus was the deciding complication after transplantation. Postoperative enteral nutritional support resolved this problem and significantly improved survival and growth rates after transplantation. ConclusionThese data suggest the importance of routine nutritional support after orthotopic small bowel transplantation in mice.
