Living Related Transplantation

Description

Edited by Nadey S Hakim (Hammersmith Hospital London, UK), Ruben Canelo (Hammersmith Hospital London, UK), & Vassilios Papalois (Hammersmith Hospital London, UK).

The book is designed to highlight recent updates in living related transplants, with chapters by leaders in the different types of transplantation. There are very few texts that tackle living donor liver, lung, pancreas and intestinal transplantation as well as the connected ethical issues.
