Inhaltsangabe

Solid organ transplantation is a well-recognized and common therapy for many end-stage diseases. The medical care of patients undergoing transplant is developing into a discrete speciality involving input from critical care physicians, anaesthesiologists and a variety of clinicians from both medical and surgical specialities.



This manual addresses the clinical management of the transplant patient from pre-surgical evaluation, through the peri-operative period, and into the recovery and follow-up phases of care. Each major transplant organ is covered with a common chapter structure covering recipient evaluation, donor evaluation, surgical procedure, post-operative management, complications, outcome and costs. There are also chapters on the important themes of immunosuppression and organ procurement.



The book forms a guide to good practice for all members of the surgical and support teams working in the transplant centres.

Críticas

This is a very necessary book. As the field of surgery becomes more genralised, the people involved in the care of the transplant patient are now coming from a variety of specialities. They need to be adept in all areas of transplantation. As far a I know, there is not one source for this information and I am sure that a book like the one described would be quite useful.

The book as a whole will be of value to medical students and junior medical staff working in a transplant unit as well as to family doctors who find themselves caring for patiens before and after transplantation. More senior staff in a transplant unit may find this to be a useful source of information about topics outside their sphere of practice.
