UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is recognized worldwide as a leader in the care of children with advanced intestinal disease. Our experts explore all treatment possibilities before recommending the best option to improve the quality of life for each patient.
Sometimes, disease management is the best alternative to transplant, either because of the child’s age, his or her disease state, or because it will provide the greatest benefit with the least risk for the child. If an intestinal or multiorgan transplant becomes necessary, our multidisciplinary team takes the appropriate steps to keep children as healthy, strong, and complication-free as possible before surgery to optimize outcomes and improve their chances of experiencing normal growth and development in the years to come.
Children’s is one of the first and among the nation’s largest multidisciplinary centers dedicated to pediatric intestinal care and rehabilitation for patients with complicated intestinal disorders. The multidisciplinary team at UPMC Children’s Hospital’s Intestinal Care and Rehabilitation Center (ICARE) involves both medical and surgical consultations in every evaluation in order to determine the best approach for each child.
Intestinal transplantation provides a well-understood benefit for many types of disease, but there is also a well-known set of risks associated with transplantation. Sometimes, doctors are able to provide benefits similar to intestine transplantation with an alternative procedure that carries less risk to the child. Our intestine specialists use their years of expertise to create a therapeutic treatment plan for each individual child to provide the greatest benefit with the least risk.
ICARE offers the most innovative and comprehensive approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pediatric intestinal disorders and complex or chronic digestive conditions.
