Abstract
Over a period of 33 years, it has become possible to successfully transplant individual intra-abdominal viscera or combinations of these organs. The consequences have been, first, new information about the metabolic interrelations that the visceral organs have in disease or health; second, the addition of several procedures to the treatment armamentarium of gastrointestinal diseases; and third, a more profound understanding of the means by which all whole organ grafts are accepted.
