Technical aspects and outcomes of first full colon transplantation as part of a multivisceral allograft
Background: The inclusion of the colon as part of intestinal and multivisceral allografts has increased in the last decade. Recent studies have shown that including the colon as part of the intestinal allograft improves/confers renal protection and increases ileostomy reversal rates, with no changes in acute cellular rejection and/or mortality rates.
