“I can recommend the book with enthusiasm. It will find a place on my bookshelf.” (Gastroenterology, 1 December 2012) “This new edition does a good job addressing more current issues in liver transplantation. It succinctly provides an excellent base of understanding, guiding readers through a variety of indications for liver transplantation to help them understand the operative and chronic management of these patients.” (Doody’s, 20 July 2012)
This book builds on the success of previous editions, once again providing hepatologists the most current clinical guide on how to best treat the liver transplant recipient. With an international mix of experienced contributors, this new edition highlights initial indication and selection of the potential recipient, management of the donor organ, post-operative complications in the patient through to acute recovery, long-term follow-up, and continued health. This provides the user a complete guide to the correct clinical management of both the recipient and the donor organ through all stages of transplantation.
