This episode explores intestinal and multivisceral transplantation — among the most complex procedures in modern surgery. Listeners are guided through indications such as intestinal failure, short bowel syndrome, and complex abdominal pathology.

The discussion emphasises immunological challenge, infection risk, nutritional dependence, and the intensity of lifelong follow-up. The rarity and ethical weight of these procedures are explored alongside the necessity of specialist centres.

This chapter frames multivisceral transplantation as surgery at the frontier — technically possible, but ethically demanding.
