title: Multivisceral and isolated intestinal procurement techniques.
abstract: Improved outcomes in multivisceral and isolated intestinal transplantation have generated increased demand for these procedures. Enhanced recognition of potential multivisceral/intestinal donors and widespread application of advanced organ procurement techniques is necessary in the current climate of organ scarcity. This manuscript details the multivisceral and isolated intestinal procurement techniques currently performed at the University of California Los Angeles.
