Summary

Transplantation Surgery uniquely covers all aspects of this rapidly expanding field in one volume. The book gives a clear description of the current status of transplant surgery for trainees sitting surgery exit examinations. The book will also be of interest to transplant surgeons, physicians and nephrologists who have an interest in this field. It opens with an introductory chapter on the history of transplantation and the basic science of immunobiology, and then examines the practice of transplantation in each major system. No other book covers the breadth of this topic in a single volume. Each contributor to Transplantation Surgery is an internationally recognised expert. Nadey S Hakim is Consultant Surgeon and Surgical Director of the Transplant Unit based at St Mary's Hospital, London, UK. Gabriel M Danovitch is Medical Director of the Kidney Transplant Program, Center for the Health Sciences, Los Angeles, California, USA. Both have been personally involved in many of the major developments in transplantation. Transplantation Surgery is the first volume to appear with the Springer Specialist Surgery Series (edited by Professor John S P Lumley, St Bartholomew's Hospital, London)
