Recenzje

'This book provides a succinct overview of organ preservation, organ harvesting, and surgical techniques currently employed in the clinical practice of solid organ transplantation. The use of excellent line drawings
for clarification of the material is a major asset of this book....(it) is particularly helpful as a teaching aid for surgical residents and medical students to illustrate the technical considerations involved with transplantation surgery. It is an important advance over the previously used reference book Manual of Vascular Access, Donation and Transplantation edited by Simmons et al. (Springer-Verlag,1984).' - Doody's Publishing Review
