Step into the forefront of abdominal transplant surgery — where innovation meets ongoing complexity. Machine perfusion and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) are reshaping organ preservation and donor utilization, with growing evidence that these technologies improve graft assessment and early outcomes. Yet reviews continue to highlight key challenges — ischemia–reperfusion injury, biliary complications in DCD grafts, and the logistical demands of perfusion platforms. Despite these hurdles, transplantation is shifting from an urgent, unpredictable field toward a planned, daytime specialty. The next horizon, underscored by recent expert reviews, is true organ banking — bringing us closer to on-demand, schedulable transplantation.

Smarter Organ Allocation - AI, Policy, and KDPI Optimization

This episode of TTS Podcast explores “Smarter Organ Allocation: AI, Policy, and KDPI Optimization”, focusing on how recent U.S. policy reforms like continuous distribution, kidney expedited placement protocols, and updated scoring systems (KDPI, EPTS, MELD 3.0) are reshaping transplant equity and efficiency. It examines cutting-edge AI applications in donor-recipient matching, survival prediction, and real-time decision support, alongside integration with electronic health records and predictive analytics tools. By merging data-driven models with evolving allocation frameworks, these innovations aim to maximize graft utility, reduce organ discard, and ensure fairer access across all organ types, marking a transformative era in transplantation.
