Answer: B - The three major components of an intestinal transplant are: the living donor enterectomy, preparation of the intestine, and transplantation with enterectomy. As with all major organ transplants, there are three distinct phases of work that need to be performed. The first is the removal of the organ from a living or cadaver donor. The second is the preparation of the organ for transplant (backbench work). The third is the transplantation of the organ into the recipient, which can be performed with or without recipient enterectomy.
