Detailed surgical description of porcine vascularized thymus lobe transplantation
Here, we describe our approach and experience in swine vascularized thymic lobe procurement and transplantation. The technique requires moderate surgical skills to achieve reproducible results. Living-donor VTL donation in pigs is not recommended due to the high risk of surgical complications related to the harvesting procedure.
