5.0 out of 5 stars
The new edition was a long time coming but a welcome addition, September 23, 2005
This review is from: Transplantation of the Liver, 2e (Hardcover)
As a transplant surgeon, I must say that there are not a lot of books published on this topic and, until recently, the previous edition was the authoritative textbook on this topic. In fact, I believe it was probably the only book guaranteed to grace the bookshelf of every liver transplant surgeon. The new text has been updated, which was a long time coming. Although I am not particularly fond of the new cover, having preferred the classier first edition, I congratulate the authors on a huge undertaking. The book is up to date and as complete as possible. Very recent surgical techniques, including a sections on split liver transplantation and living donor transplantation, new immunosuppressive protocols and new preservation techniques are current and well described. I highly recommend this new edition.
