Multi Organ Transplant

Multi-organ transplantation, also known as multi-organ transplantation or multi-visceral transplantation, involves the surgical transplantation of multiple organs from a donor to a recipient who has multiple organ failures. This complex procedure is typically performed for patients with end-stage organ failure affecting several organs, often due to conditions such as organ disease, congenital disorders, or trauma. Multi-organ transplantation is a life-saving treatment option that aims to restore normal organ function and improve the recipient’s overall quality of life.Multi-organ failure may happen when one organ fails and others follow, or multiple organs may fail independently. Sometimes one organ can’t be safely transplanted without another organ being transplanted as well.If your transplant teams determine that multi-organ transplant is best for you, your name will be added to the national transplant waitlist for each organ.
