Abstract A chronic model of bowel allotransplantation is described. End‐to‐end microvascular anastomosis between superior mesenteric vessels was utilized. The recipient splenic vein was preserved to avoid postoperative pancreatitis. Euro‐Collins solution was used to flush the vasculature in the lumen of the transplant. Low‐dose cyclosporine was used for immunosuppression. With experience, 89% long‐term survival was achieved.
