Small bowel allografts can either be placed heterotopically or orthotopically. In heterotopic small bowel transplantation (H-SBT), the host small intestine containing a substantial amount of gut-associated lymphoid tissue is removed, whereas in conventional orthotopic small bowel transplantation (O-SBT) it is retained. This study compared the allograft survival of H-SBT and O-SBT and evaluated the effect of retaining the host intestine in O-SBT in an altered O-SBT (AO-SBT) model.
