ABSTRACT

The Subcommittee of Composite Tissue Transplant of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubirán was formed in 2005. Its mission was to evaluate medical, surgical, legal, social and ethical issues involved in upper limb allotransplant,according to the criteria established by «The International Registry of Hand and Composite Tissue Transplantation» and the Mexican General Health Law and Regulation concerning tissue and organ donation and transplantation. Additionally a surgical training and upper limb harvesting programs were designed. The outcome was the creation of an upper limb transplantation protocol, an information letter, and the informed consent letter. These documents were approved by the Institute Ethics Committee in 2007, and in 2006 a sanitary license was granted by the Federal Commission for Sanitary Risks Protection, which enables the Institute to carry out the allotransplant. The protocol was registered in the National Transplant Center in February 2007, and was updated in March 2009, at the time the first candidate patient was registered, too. And so the Institute is now waiting for a donor.
