Multivisceral Transplantation

Multivisceral transplantation is a complex surgical procedure in which multiple abdominal organs—such as the stomach, pancreas, intestines, and sometimes the liver—are transplanted simultaneously into a patient. It is typically performed when these organs are severely damaged or diseased, often due to conditions like severe intestinal failure or cancer. This procedure aims to restore normal digestive and nutritional functions when other treatments have failed. Because it involves multiple organs, it requires careful planning and coordination to ensure the new organs function properly and to minimize the risk of rejection or complications.
