Follow-up of small bowel autotransplantation combined with pancreatoduodenectomy and hemicolectomy

Abstract

Till now reports on intestinal autotransplantation for mesenteric pathologic lesions of small intestine were rare. Here we present a follow-up of a patient with pancreatoduodenectomy and small bowel autotransplantation for enormous mesenteric cavernous hemangioma of small intestine for 6 and a half years. He is now 27 years old, maintains a normal diet and lives a normal life with no sign of tumor recurrence. So we conclude that pancreatoduodenctomy, hemicolectomy and small bowel autotransplantation is a safe and effective operation.
