Abstract
- There is a global shortage of transplantable organs, especially in a resource-limited country like India. Deceased pediatric donors provide an excellent opportunity to expand the donor pool. Herein, we report a rare case of multi-organ harvesting from a 3-year-old brain-dead donor, where both the kidneys were transplanted en bloc to an adult male recipient and the liver to a 4-year-old male child. This case report provides the surgical steps and our experience.
