Abstract
Multivisceral transplantation has brought new opportunities in the treatment of organ failure, offering better outcomes and quality of life to patients. Standardized surgical technique was developed in 1997. Currently, living donor (LD) intestinal transplant has been perfected relative to technical details, leading results comparable with those performed with deceased donors (DDs). Additional advantages such as elimination of waiting time, better human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, short ischemia time, and being scheduled as an elective surgery are achieved with this type of procedure. Regenerative medicine constitutes a pathway of innovate techniques in the treatment of intestinal failure; however, further research needs to be performed to fully translate regenerative medicine into the clinical field.
