Abstract

Over recent years, small intestine transplant is considered to be an effective treatment option for intestinal failure. Donor selection and donor operation are important to successful transplantation. Efforts have been focused on developing ways to safely increase the donor pool. For example, improvements in the detection of infection and malignancy in donors have facilitated increased graft utilization in high-risk populations. Additionally, operative techniques have been established to allow transplant of multiple abdominal organs en bloc (multivisceral and modified multivisceral transplant), as well as for intestine transplant alone, increasing organ yield from individual donors. Despite this trend toward inclusivity in intestine transplant, the operation remains to be associated with inherent risks, due to the immunologic complications. Therefore numerous factors, including age, medical history, graft function, and hemodynamic stability, remain vitally important when selecting a suitable donor organ.
