Résumé

Liver transplant tourism is travel for transplantation involving organ trafficking and/or transplant commercialism. Various medical, financial, and organizational factors play a role in transplant care including waiting lists, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores, and financial aid. We outline the international experiences with transplant tourism (TT) and its effect on their medical communities and patients. For clinicians providing care to patients involved in TT, we also discuss pretransplant counseling and posttransplant care.
