Features: Drs. Kuo and Davis have organized an outstanding team of authors to compile a completely new atlas of transplant surgery, Surgical Atlas of Organ Transplantation. This book not only covers all techniques used in solid organ transplantation but also briefly summarizes the fundamental principles of organ preservation and multi-organ procurement. In each chapter, masters in the field describe and discuss the latest advancements in heart, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas transplantation. Considering the importance of live donors in the treatment of end-stage organ failure and the growing interest in live donor transplantation, the surgical strategies for live donor liver and kidney procurement in the relevant chapters of this atlas hold particular value. In all chapters, their surgical steps are unique. The surgical procedures in the thoracic and abdominal cavities are unparalleled, even including the surgical techniques for live donor liver and kidney procurement, and all procedures are presented in the form of digital photographs. The application of digital imaging has greatly enhanced and enriched the visual representation of surgical techniques. Additionally, a dedicated chapter introduces organ procurement and the management of multi-organ cadaveric donors. This book is of significant value to residents, surgeons, and healthcare professionals undergoing training in related fields.
