## Abstract Orthotopic intestinal transplantation in the rat is highly successful, but circumstances may require an extraabdominal graft location. We describe a microsurgical technique for cervical intestinal transplantation in the rat, which has been used to investigate the immune status of hosts

## Abstract The rat has been used as a model to study the significance of graft and host interactions in small bowel transplantation (SBTX). A mouse model of SBTX would allow investigators to apply the knowledge of the wellβdefined genetics in the mouse to this field of study. Therefore, we have de
Small-bowel transplantation (SBT) using an nonsuture cuff technique was carried out on 137 rats. Preparation of the donor graft was carried out according to conventional procedures. Graft perfusion was done at a fixed pressure of 35 cm water. The left renal vessels of the recipient were dissected, t
A venous cuff technique was applied only for venous drainage in orthotopic small bowel transplantation of rats. Rates of technical failure (death within 4 days) and in clinical signs were compared between the groups with (group A) and without (group B) venous cuff technique. Technical failures with
Intestinal transplantation is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. This paper details our initial experience with 82 heterotopic small bowel transplants based upon the original rat model described by Monchik and Russell (Surgery 70:693-702, 1971). A key issue associated with mortal
