A Novel Approach for a Metastatic Gut-Derived Neuroendocrine Tumour: Simultaenous Intestinal and Vascularised Sentinel Forearm Flap Transplantation
#1113
Introduction: Non-resectable tumours involving the mesenteric root are an indication for intestinal and multivisceral transplantation (MVT). Vascularised sentinel forearm flaps (VSFF) offer possibilities for monitoring graft rejection and tailoring immunosuppression (IS) regimens.
Aim(s): We present the first documented case of using MVT for a metastatic neuroendocrine tumour (NET) whilst implementing a VSFF.
Materials and methods: A 44year old male was diagnosed with a well-differentiated Grade 1 (Ki67
