Darin spent 14 months in the hospital after a severe reaction to a medication. After receiving comprehensive intestinal rehabilitation care at UPMC, she’s grateful to be back home with her family.
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.
