Transplantation surgery

Beschreibung:

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)
