Intestinal transplantation is a potentially lifesaving procedure conducted in candidates with e.g. intestinal failure. However, a limiting factor has been the complications, which are inherent to the procedure, along with the inadequacies of current modalities to establish a prompt diagnosis of acute cellular rejection. Additionally, most of these procedures are performed in large centres and the outcome in low volume centres is uncertain. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate patients referred for intestinal transplantation in the Nordic countries with emphasis on the procedures and methods to improve surveillance.
