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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
