Abstract

A multivisceral abdominal transplantation could be required in case of intestinal insufficiency associated with another abdominal organ insufficiency, especially the liver. This procedure can improve the survival and the quality of life in selected patients. We report the case of an adult patient with a survival exceeding 5 years after multivisceral transplantation. We focused the discussion on the main technical points and the postoperative complications, especially intestinal acute rejection which represents a life-threatening complication.
