Popis:	Experiments have shown rectal transplantation to be technically feasible, although there remain obstacles such as returning physiological function and immunological considerations.Austin O'Bichere and Jacquie Peck argue that further interest in this novel method of restoring normal anal defaecation after excision of the rectum will be driven by the desire to restore quality of life by transplantation of non-essential organs.
