  ABSTRACT: To summarize the treatment outcomes after combined en bloc liver and pancreas transplantation. Five patients with end-stage liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus received combined en bloc liver and pancreas transplantation after hepatectomy. Five operations were performed successfully. The operative time ranged from 9 to 16 hours and blood loss from 1600 to 3000 ml. Postoperatively, one patients developed pulmonary infection, one died of graft-versus-host disease(GVHD), and one experienced acute renal failure. No intestinal fistula, anastomotic leakage, biliary complications, chronic and acute rejection and pancreatitis were seen. Liver function index including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and total bilirubin returned to normal levels a week after surgery, while levels of C peptide and blood glucose resumed within 1 to 2 weeks. Apart from 1 case died of GVHD, the other 4 maintained normal liver function during the follow up ranging from 2 to 23 months and no insulin was required for the diabetes. Combined en bloc liver and pancreas transplantation is technically feasible and an effective treatment for multi-organ diseases.

  ABSTRACT: To assess the indication, surgical and post-operative complications of the multivisceral transplantation. The post-transplant complications of 8 patients who underwent multivisceral transplantation between May 2004 and May 2010 were analyzed. There were 7 male and 1 female, aged from 28 to 65 years. Five patients who suffered from non-resectable advanced upper abdominal malignancy experienced the liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, duodenum, omentum and variable amounts of the colon resection, and then underwent standard multivisceral transplantation (included liver, stomach, pancreaticoduodenal and small bowel). After underwent hepatectomy while retaining the native pancreas and entire gastrointestinal, three recipients with end-stage liver cirrhosis and type 2 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) was performed combined en bloc liver/pancreaticoduodenal transplantation. Since the third day post-operation, all recipients no longer needed exogenous insulin and had normal blood glucose concentrations. Two weeks after transplantation, their liver function almost became normal. For the 5 recipients who suffered abdominal malignancy, the longest survival period was 326 days. Cause of death are recurrent tumor (n = 2), multiple organ failure (n = 3). All the 5 patients experienced infection. For 3 patients suffered cirrhosis and IDDM, the longest survival was over 18 month. Excepting the case 8 died of graft versus host disease, all were still living without apparently post-transplant complication. Multivisceral transplantation is an alternative in the treatment of the patients with benign massive abdominal pathologies. Careful patient selection and technical modification are crucial to improve the outcome of these patients.
