Intestinal transplantation is an accepted lifesaving option to treat appropriately selected patients with end-stage failure of the gastrointestinal tract. The evaluation of each candidate involves complex judgments. When to perform an isolated intestinal transplantation versus a combined transplantation with the liver and/or other organs often requires thoughtful considerations and an individualized approach. In addition, performing venous drainage of the isolated graft is potentially complex. We discuss the significant advances in surgical and medical decision making in the evaluation and management of patients with intestinal failure.

Evidence-based medicine has enabled an individualized approach to medical decision-making and has become part of modern clinical practice. Health technologies are tools that can be used to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases. Despite the technological progress, diagnostic problems persist. This work is a commentary on the work already done in predicting the appropriate physicians for the prospective of the right diagnosis and is a description of the challenges to be faced in the next work.
