Area of Science:

  • Transplantation medicine
  • Surgical procedures
  • Organ procurement

Context:

  • Significant growth in heart and liver transplantation over the past decade.
  • Increased, though smaller, numbers in lung and pancreas-kidney transplants.
  • Stabilization in kidney transplant numbers in recent years.

Purpose:

  • To describe the evolution of organ procurement practices.
  • To detail the shift from single-organ to multiorgan procurement.
  • To outline the multiorgan procurement technique (heart, liver, kidneys) and contraindications.

Summary:

  • Transplantation activity has significantly increased, with a notable rise in heart and liver transplants.
  • Organ procurement has evolved from single-organ to multiorgan retrieval, now comprising up to 80% in leading countries.

  • The Slovak Republic adopted a presumed consent policy for organ donation in 1995, with specific exclusions for donation.

    • Impact:

    • Multiorgan procurement maximizes the use of donor organs, increasing transplantation rates.
    • Standardized procurement techniques improve efficiency and outcomes.
    • Presumed consent policies can potentially increase organ availability for patients awaiting transplants.
