At UPMC's Gastrointestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Program, we put our patients first regardless of the complexity of their case. This patient-centered approach to care has provided new hope to many of our patients by restoring quality of life.
From intestinal transplant to rehabilitation and nutrition management, many of our past patients have gone on to help future patients better understand what to expect.
Note: These patients' treatment and results may not be representative of all similar cases.
After suffering from a rare complication of bariatric surgery, Deena could no longer absorb any nutrition and had to be fed through a catheter. Fortunately, Deena found the Gastrointestinal Rehabilitation and Transplant Program at UPMC, where our doctors started her on a plan for surgical rehabilitation.
Throughout her childhood and adolescence, Jennifer was in and out of hospitals for a condition that prevented her from naturally absorbing nutrients from food. Finally, at 21 years old, doctors told her she needed a small bowel transplant and sent her to the experts at UPMC.
During her time in the Army, Diana was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in her early twenties and did everything she could to help combat her disease. Diana was referred to UPMC once she learned she may require an intestinal transplant.
