Abstract
Ten patients with primary malignant tumors of the biliary tract, duodenum, or stomach and with secondary involvement of the liver underwent removal of most or all of the stomach, liver, pancreas, spleen, duodenum, proximal jejunum, terminal ileum, and ascending and transverse colon. The void in the upper abdomen was filled with an organ cluster graft consisting of the liver, pancreas, duodenum, and variable segments of proximal jejunum. Eight of the ten patients are alive after 3 to 9 months, all with good liver and pancreas function, and most with satisfactory function of the gastrointestinal tract. One of the surviving patients was in the hospital for 4 months because of multiple enteric fistulas and infections; the other seven survivors were discharged after an average of 43 ± 17.61 (SD) days. Recurrent tumor has not been proved in any of the surviving recipients and is suspected in only one. The study of such cases should provide insight and guidelines applicable to other visceral transplantation procedures that may be attempted in the future.
