Uterine Transplant Optimization From a Preclinical Donor Model With Controlled Cardiocirculatory Arrest.

Background: Uterus transplantation from deceased donors offers a promising solution to the organ shortage, but optimal preservation methods are crucial for successful outcomes. Our primary objective is to conduct an initial assessment of the contribution of oxygenated hypothermic perfusion in uterine transplantation.

Methods: We performed a preclinical study on a porcine model of controlled donation after circulatory death (60 min warm ischemia).

Side-to-Side Duodenojejunal Anastomosis Volvulus After Pancreas Transplant: A Case Report.

Pancreas transplant is one of the known most effective treatments for type 1 diabetes mellitus and is associated with improved survival and quality of life for patients. Most centers use a direct side-to-side anastomosis between the donor's duodenum and jejunum, and we describe a rare complication that affected 2 patients. The 2 patients each received a simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplant and presented with side-to-side duodenojejunal anastomosis volvulus.
