Main description:

Atlas of Organ Transplantation, Second Edition, provides the reader with a comprehensive and pictorial step-by-step account of abdominal organ transplant procedures performed by contemporary transplant surgeons today. Emphasis is placed on newer procedures or procedures that have undergone significant modifications. It is recognized that there are many well-accepted techniques for the same procedure, with each having potential merit. While it is impossible to present all of these variations, an attempt is made to describe the common variations in surgical technique and common variation in procedure based on anatomical variations.

Written by an expert in the field, Atlas of Organ Transplantation, Second Edition, includes schematic diagrams and high-quality intraoperative photographs, allowing readers to clearly visualize the course of the operative procedure. This format provides the reader with a clear visual and written description of all major transplant procedures in one reference book.
