Diagnosing acute rejection after intestinal transplantation currently heavily relies on histopathological analysis of graft biopsies. However, the invasive risks associated with ileoscopic examination and the inaccessibility for biopsy after ileostomy closure hinder real-time detection of rejection responses. Molecules comprising the intestinal barrier have been identified as physiological and molecular biomarkers for various bowel conditions and systemic diseases.

To investigate the safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy of total laparoscopic loop ileostomy reversal in patients after resection of rectal cancer. The clinical data of 20 patients who underwent total laparoscopic loop ileoscopic loop ileostomy after radical resection of rectal cancer at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, or Beijing Chaoyang District Sanhuan Cancer Hospital from October 2019 to June 2020 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. All patients had successfully underwent total laparoscopic ileostomy reversal without conversion to open surgery or discontinued operation.

Background: The management of small bowel transplantation is unique because signs of rejection can be obtained visually by endoscopy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of endoscopic appearance in assessing histologic evidence of acute cellular rejection (ACR).
Methods: Endoscopies were performed in 66 asymptomatic "surveillance" small bowel transplant recipients and 71 symptomatic recipients from a single center.

Background: Ileal biopsies are often reported as having a low yield. Data from endoscopy practices in the private setting are lacking.
Aims: To correlate the frequency of histologic abnormalities in ileal biopsies with clinical indications and ileoscopic appearances.
