Description

Leading authorities from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine provide their expertise - who, when, why, how - in this comprehensive atlas/reference. All organ systems in which clinical transplantation plays a role are represented. The experts take the reader step-by-step through challenging and innovative operative procedures, using descriptive text and 600 brilliant full-colour intraoperative photographs and drawings. The most recent technical and immunological innovations are described by the contributors, each of whom is a pioneering expert in the field. In addition, the text covers care of the transplant patient both in and out of the operating room, including information on patient selection and evaluation, donor selection, anesthesia, complications, outpatient follow-up, indications and contradications, preoperative care and management, postoperative care, rejection and infection and extensive references for further study.
