Procurement technique for isolated small bowel, pancreas, and liver from multiorgan cadaveric donor

Intestinal transplants, including either isolated small bowel and multivisceral grafts, have become in the last decade a valuable and safe therapeutic option for patients with intestinal failure. The improvements in intestinal transplants result basically from a better patients selection, refined surgical techniques, and immunosuppressants.[1]The purpose of this article is to define the feasibility of isolated small bowel harvesting simultaneously with pancreas and liver procurement from cadaveric multiorgan donor.
