Spleen transplantation is the transfer of spleen or its fragments from one individual to another. It is under research for induction of immunological tolerance for other transplanted organs. Success has been achieved in rodent models. Recently, evidence has been obtained for a tolerogenic effect of a spleen transplant in miniature swine.
Should the patient continue to perform well through the first post-transplant year, the ileostomy would generally be closed. Should rejection be suspected in the future, endoscopies would be performed and an appropriate antirejection therapy will be tailored. The median time for hospital discharge varies between procedures.

FMT is an effective treatment for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). [3] [4] [5] For recurrent CDI, FMT is more effective than vancomycin alone, and may improve the outcome after the first index infection. [3] [5] [6] Side effects may include a risk of infections, therefore the donor should be screened for pathogens. [7]
A diagram portraying an allogenic stem cell transplant. Treatment for T-cell lymphoma varies widely due to the large variability in the subtypes. Due to the lack of research performed in understanding the nature of T-cell lymphoma pathogenesis, a majority of cases will often have poor outcomes for the treatment or will relapse. [3]
