The goal of Cleveland Clinic's Intestinal Rehabilitation and Transplantation program is to help you resume a healthy, normal lifestyle. We accomplish this by increasing the small intestine's absorptive capacity through diet, medication, restorative surgery, and in select cases, transplantation.

You will be evaluated, supported and treated by a world class team of medical and surgical gastrointestinal specialists, parenteral nutrition experts and transplant surgeons.

To help consumers determine the best treatment options for intestinal failure, the staff at Cleveland Clinic has produced a free downloadable Intestinal Transplant and Rehabilitation Brochure. In this brochure you will:

• Get an overview of treatment options for intestinal failure.
• Learn how patients requiring intestinal rehabilitation and/or transplantation could include those with IBD, chronic diarrhea or desmoid disease.
• Learn about how you can resume a normal, healthy lifestyle.

"I was very comfortable with the Intestinal Transplant Program at the Cleveland Clinic. The care and follow-up have been excellent. I'd recommend intestinal transplant to any patient experiencing complications from TPN."

Michael Battaglia, Cleveland Clinic intestinal transplant patient
