Abstract
Consensus remains elusive in the definition and indications of multivisceral transplantation (MVT) within the transplant community. MVT encompasses transplantation of all organs reliant on the celiac artery axis and the superior mesenteric artery in different combinations. Some institutions classify MVT as involving the grafting of the stomach or ascending colon in addition to the jejunoileal complex. MVT indications span a wide spectrum of conditions, including tumors, intestinal dysmotility disorders, and trauma. This systematic review aims to consolidate existing literature on MVT cases and their indications, providing an organizational framework to comprehend the current criteria for MVT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal fibromatosis often involves the mesentery root which is non-resectable by conventional surgery. Multivisceral transplant (MVT), as a potential cure to non-resectable fibromatosis, has rarely been reported and the prognosis is unknown. METHODS Six patients who underwent MVT for intra-abdominal fibromatosis were reviewed. Clinicopathological features, immunohistochemistry for β-catenin, p53, and Ki67, and outcomes were evaluated. Appropriate data for comparative analysis were obtained from a cohort of 24 patients who underwent conventional resection for intra-abdominal fibromatosis. RESULTS Among six MVT patients, four had familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Two patients had an initial intestinal transplantation, three had multiple prior surgeries, and two had adjuvant therapy. One patient died of hemorrhagic stroke shortly after MVT, and five patients (83%) survived with a median follow-up of 64 months. The 1-year and 5-year survival rates were 67% for all five patients. Two patients had recurrences after MVT and one of them had FAP. In comparison, six of 24 patients who underwent conventional surgery had FAP; six (25%) had recurrences and three had FAP. For FAP patients; the mean recurrence time was 13 months for MVT versus 6 months for conventional surgery. Ki67 proliferative index, β-catenin, and p53 expression did not significantly correlate to recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Multivisceral transplant (MVT) is a viable option for patients who have non-resectable intra-abdominal fibromatosis with promising surviving rates, although recurrence still occurs. Surgical margin, Ki67 proliferative index, β-catenin, and p53 expression are not predicative for recurrence of fibromatosis.

Abstract
We describe an exciting and novel surgical option, which may be used to treat formerly unresectable masses. This process is commonly referred to as autotransplantation (AuTn), and it combines the advances in transplant medicine and applies them to surgical oncology. The idea behind AuTn is the removal of the cancerous organ(s) to allow complete anatomic resection of the tumor mass, with consequent anastomotic reimplantation or AuTn of the now macroscopically tumor-free organ back into the patient. Autotransplantation has been used to remove large fibromatosis and desmoid tumors as well as malignant tumors. Our belief is that using lessons learned from the field of transplantation, AuTn can be applied in gynecologic oncology.

Abstract
Intestinal failure can be defined as the critical reduction of functional gut mass below the minimal amount necessary for adequate digestion and absorption to satisfy body nutrient and fluid requirements in adults or children. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is characterized by a state of malabsorption following extensive resection of the small bowel. SBS may occur after resection of more than 50% and is certain after resection of more than 70% of the small intestine, or if less than 100 cm of small bowel is left. Several treatment modalities other than total parenteral nutrition, including hormones (recombinant human growth hormone, glucagon-like peptide-2) and tailoring surgeries (Bianchi procedure, serial transverse enteroplasty), had been proposed, however these were either experimental or inefficient. Small bowel transplant is a rather new approach for SBS. The once feared field of solid organ transplantation is nowadays becoming more and more popular, even in developing countries. This is partially secondary to the developments in immunosuppressive strategy. In this regard, alemtuzumab deserves special attention. There are more complex surgeries, such as multivisceral transplantation, for multi-organ involvement including small bowel. This latter technique is relatively new when compared to small bowel transplant, and is performed in certain centers worldwide. In this review, an attempt is made to give an insight into small bowel syndrome, small bowel transplantation, and related issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fistulae, small bowel obstruction (SBO), and malabsorption are complications of intra-abdominal desmoid (IAD) tumors that require home parenteral nutrition (HPN). HPN outcomes in patients with IAD tumors have not been previously reported. The aim of this study was to compare some of the nutrition parameters and complications of HPN in patients with IAD with a control group of patients on HPN. METHODS This was a case-control study of patients and randomly selected controls who required HPN because of fistulae, SBO, or malabsorption and were managed by the Cleveland Clinic Nutrition Support Team between 1990 and 2008. Variables included demographics, indications, number of episodes, duration of HPN, number of admissions and complications related to HPN, and nutrition parameters. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used. RESULTS Eighteen of 1615 HPN patients (1.1%) had IAD. For the study, 58 patients were included: 14 with IAD and 44 controls. Four IAD patients did not have complete medical records. IAD patients had longer duration of HPN (P = .015), were younger (P = .028), and were more likely to receive HPN for malabsorption (P < .001). Body mass index (BMI), serum albumin level, protein intake provided at the beginning of HPN, energy intake provided at the start and end of HPN, mortality, and complications were comparable between groups. At the end of HPN, IAD patients received significantly more protein and had lower serum albumin levels compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS HPN for IAD patients maintained BMI but did not increase serum albumin concentration despite receiving more protein than controls. IAD patients did not have increased HPN-related complications.

Abstract
Transplantations play an increasing role for plastic reconstructive surgeons. The increasing number of solid organ transplantations and the improved long-term survival rates lead to increased numbers of these patients also undergoing plastic and reconstructive procedures. Free flap transfer in solid organ transplant patients is feasible with no higher risk to both transplant function and postoperative complications than for nontransplant patients, even during immune suppression. Composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA) is an evolving field in plastic reconstructive surgery with hands, arms, partial faces, abdominal walls, and knee joints being transferred in clinical settings. However only an interdisciplinary approach using all available resources in highly selected patients after exhausting all other plastic reconstructive procedures is able to achieve reasonable results. The potential complications of long-term immune suppression and patient compliance have to be balanced with the expected and achieved functional result of CTA, whose procedures must be discussed as a potential tissue or organ transplantation, given the legal and logistic implications. The interdisciplinary cooperation of transplant surgeons, microsurgeons, psychologists, and ergo- and physiotherapists is mandatory to achieve successful CTA results.

Abstract
Intestinal transplantation has shown exceptional growth over the past 20 years with remarkable progress. As with other solid organ transplants, intestinal transplantation has moved out of the experimental realm to become the stan dard of care for many patients with intestinal failure. Intestinal transplantation may soon be extended routinely to patients who, although not strictly meeting the criteria for intestinal failure, may benefit from intestinal transplantation, such as patients who have nonresectable indolent tumors or diffuse thrombosis of the portomesenteric system. As clinical experience has increased with intestinal transplantation, outcomes have improved. The currently reported 1-year graft and patient survival rate is 80%, which approaches that for other solid abdominal organs. Unfortunately, most of the gains in survival are seen in the first postoperative year, with long-term survival remaining basically unchanged since the early 1990s. With improved outcomes, more centers have entered into the intestinal transplant arena. In the United States alone, 20 centers performed at least one intestinal transplant in 2007. Increase in access to intestinal transplantation and more widespread awareness of this option likely will result in a consistent increase in the number of yearly transplants for the foreseeable future. Immunosuppressive regimens continue to evolve, with induction therapy being the major change in the past 5 years. Although rejection rates in the first year after transplant have been reduced by induction therapy, long-term side effects of heavy immunosuppression continue to weigh negatively on transplant outcomes. The future for immunosuppression lies in two areas: (1) individual monitoring of the immunosuppression level for each individual patient and (2) development of serum and tissue markers for the early identification of rejection. It is likely that a combination of technologies will allow immunosuppression to be tailored to each recipient. Development of these approaches to immunosuppression is necessary to predict graft dysfunction ahead of irreversible graft injury and allows adjustments in immunosuppression before the onset of rejection. Intestinal transplantation continues to be performed only in situations in which all other therapeutic modalities have failed. No randomized trials compare intestinal transplantation to long-term PN to establish guidelines for a timely referral for this treatment option. Late referral remains a crippling problem in the field of intestinal transplantation, with a great number of patients in need of simultaneous liver transplantation at the time of listing for intestinal transplantation. Early referral for isolated intestinal transplant will reduce the need for simultaneous multiorgan transplants and increase the residual organs available for patients in need of (primarily) liver transplantation.

Abstract
Desmoid tumor is a monoclonal, fibroblastic proliferation arising in musculoaponeurotic structures. This connective tissue hyperplasia infiltrates locally, recurs frequently after resection but does not metastasize. Abdominal desmoid occurs sporadically, in association with some familial syndromes and often represents a clinical dilemma for surgeons. The enigmatic biology and anatomical location of abdominal desmoids make treatment recommendations difficult. This distinct pathological entity is reviewed with a specific focus on aetiology and management.

Abstract
The evolution of small bowel transplantation has been significant over the past 20 years to the point at which it can now be considered a viable and often successful option in the treatment of many forms of short bowel syndrome. A refinement of surgical techniques, improved immunosuppression, enhanced understanding of gut immunology, and better treatment and prevention of complications have contributed to a marked improvement in graft and patient survival. Whereas this transplant population is still beset with many potential complications after isolated bowel or multivisceral transplantation and long-term graft survival (like with other solid organ transplants) remains a challenge, the future holds promise for a continuation of the current positive trend of improvement in several areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Authors reviewed single center experience of intestinal transplantation for treatment of intra-abdominal neoplastic disease. METHODS There were 25 auto- or allograft transplantations in 21 patients; desmoid tumor (14), neuroendocrine tumor (2), adenocarcinoma (2), hemangioma (1), lymphoma (1), and solid pseudopapillary tumor (1). Medical records were reviewed for cause of graft loss and mortality, recurrent neoplasm, and quality of life. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS There were 11 graft losses; mortality with functioning graft (6), ischemic necrosis (2), acute or chronic rejection (2), and arterial thrombosis (1) during 38 months of mean follow-up. Seven patients died because of recurrent neoplasm and transplant related complications. Six patients experienced recurrent disease; three desmoid tumor (3/14), two adenocarcinoma (2/2), and one neuroendocrine tumor (1/2). Recurrent desmoid tumors were successfully treated with simple excision. Patient and graft survival in the desmoid tumor are 69.2% and 50.0% at 5 years after transplant. Among 14 survivors, 2 need parenteral nutrition or intravenous hydration. Twelve patients are working full time. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal transplantation is a reasonable life-saving treatment for catastrophic intra-abdominal neoplastic diseases.
