Liver Discard Rate Attributable to Conservative Estimations of Steatosis: An Inference-based Approach
On-site conservative estimations of steatosis could result in the unnecessary discard of donor livers. This study applied the body mass index as an independent statistical indicator to determine the extent of this problem. We aimed to quantitatively evaluate if decisions based nonbiopsy donor liver assessments are more conservative (inclined to reject marginal fatty livers) than biopsy-based evaluations.

Over 1000 Pancreas Transplants in a Latin American Program
Pancreas transplantation (PT) is an effective treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal disease, or brittle diabetes. However, the total number of PT and high-volume programs has declined worldwide during the past decade. This study aimed to analyze the experience of >1000 PTs in a high-volume Brazilian program.

Transforming Transplant Oversight: Enhancing Combined Cardiothoracic Surgery and Liver Transplantation With Normothermic Machine Perfusion
Simultaneous cardiothoracic surgery and liver transplantation (LT) is a high-risk procedure associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. The use of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) allows graft quality enhancement, assessment of liver viability, and logistics optimization, expanding the donor pool and reducing organ discard rate. We share our institution’s experience with simultaneous cardiothoracic surgery and LT, using NMP for liver graft preservation and viability assessment.

Radial Forearm Free Flap: A Modified Technique for Procurement as a Sentinel Skin Flap
Organ rejection after solid organ transplantation remains a major challenge. The sentinel skin flap (SSF), a vascularized skin flap procured from the donor and transplanted alongside solid organs, has shown promise for early detection of rejection. The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) has a long history of use in reconstructive surgery and offers distinct advantages as SSF in organ donation procedures (ODPs).
