Abstract Combination harvesting procedures for the liver and whole pancreas can be carried out successfully in most instances, but this requires agreement between the liver and pancreas teams concerning the vascular supply for the grafts. If one donor team is in charge of both organs, the procedure has considerable economical advantages. Even if one organ is not suitable, partial success is sufficient to compensate for the effort and costs.
