A 32-year-old male had a severe traffic accident and was
diagnosed with brain death 3 days after the admission. The potential donor has
filled criteria for multiple organ donation and the family accepted the
donation.
During organs harvesting, it was found that liver, kidneys,
pancreas, stomach and all others organs of the abdominal and thoracic
cavities were
located in changed positions as if it were a mirror image, diagnosing the donor
with situs inversus totalis.
The liver and the kidneys were flushed with standard
preservation solution and procured using standard techniques. During routine
backbench preparation of the liver graft, we identify the anatomical relations:
common bile duct in the left side, liver artery locating in right, and portal
vein behind it.
