MULTIPLE ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION AND THE CREATION OF SURGICAL SIBLINGS

John E. Schowalter M.D.1

Most of the psychiatric literature regarding renal transplantation concerns the donorrecipient relationship. Nothing has been written about the implications of multiple transplants from a cadaver donor, although such procedures are becoming increasingly common. This paper describes a symbiotic syndrome which formed between two adolescent girls who received kidney transplants from the same cadaver. The significance and possible causes of this reaction are discussed.
