[Multiorgan procurement (MPO). Who? How? What results?].

Between 1985 and 1988, 156 organs were harvested using a multiorgan procurement technique (MPO) in the Urology Dept of Grenoble University Hospital (50 MOP). All the organs transplanted either in Grenoble or in other centers have been followed up after transplantation to try to appreciate their value and function. The surgical procedure is described, and results, organ by organ, are given. The conclusion is that the MOP technique is perfectly usable and reliable without jeopardizing any of the transplanted organs.
