What occurs when a portion of the intestine is constricted inside a hernia cutting off it's blood supply?
When a portion of the intestine becomes constricted inside a hernia, it can lead to a condition known as strangulation. This occurs when the blood supply to that part of the intestine is cut off, which can result in tissue death (necrosis) if not addressed promptly. Strangulated hernias are considered a surgical emergency, as they can lead to severe complications like infection, sepsis, and perforation of the intestine. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to restore blood flow and remove any necrotic tissue.
Can a digestive system be transplanted?
The large intestine is not transplanted because it is not necessary to sustain life; it is considered much safer to remove a malfunctioning large intestine (i.e perform a colectomy) than it is to then transplant a new one in it's place. There are no published cases of large-intestine transplants or full intestine transplants being performed. (However small intestine transplants are now routinely performed). That's not to say that "it is not medically possible to transplant a large intestine", it just means that any 'benefits' are outweighed by the additional risks involved in transplantation (including but not limited to rejection, infection and side-effects of immuno-suppressives).
