Transplantation Surgery

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)
