Thieme, 1994 - Medical - 161 pages
This is the first surgical atlas demonstrating preparatory steps by photographs! These operations are shown: organ donation (liver-kidney, liver-pancreas-kidney, kidney), orthotopic liver transplantation, segmental liver transplantation (preparation of a left liver graft, preparation of a left lateral liver graft, split liver preparation), living-related liver donation, heterotopic liver transplantation, pancreas transplantation, kidney transplantation. The photographs explain each important preparatory step, as well as potential variants and possible pitfalls. For each operation a checklist for preoperative preparation and postoperative care is included to allow a quick survey of the pre- and postoperative periods. "The book clearly explains all details of surgical technique and anatomy. The authors have restricted the text to a minimum so that the reader can gain a clearer understanding of the anatomy as each procedure develops...With the increasing number of organ transplantations ...more and more general surgeons have to be involved in organ donation...This atlas is recommended for all transplant surgeons and should be available to all general units where organ donation occurs." Transplant International, 4/96
