Practical Manual of Abdominal Organ Transplantation
Abdominal organ transplantation, specifically liver, kidney, and pancreatic transplantation, has experienced a tremendous growth over the last two decades. With this growth comes a need for a general, standardised introduction for those healthcare professionals involved with this branch of medicine. This manual is a readily-available, concise reference for the professional involved in the field of abdominal organ transplantation as well as the lay person and includes:
* end-stage abdominal organ disease
* candidate selection and the allocation system
* technical aspects of organ procurement and implantation
* complications deriving from surgical procedures.
It also incorporates the latest developments in organ procurement and transplantation as well as newer approaches to the organ shortage and the increasing use of living liver donors. This practical manual serves as a tool for those in the medical and nursing profession, whether a student, resident, or practitioner, working with abdominal organ transplantation and its effects on their patients.
