Main description:

Kidney & Pancreas Transplantation is a comprehensive collection of considerations for organ transplantation, starting from candidate evaluation to surgical techniques and complications, and cutting-edge material on robotic surgical techniques.

Divided into 22 sections, comprising 72 chapters, the book clearly illustrates the step-by-step surgical procedures of kidney and pancreas transplantation surgeries. Topics include islet cell transplantation, epigenetics, imaging complications, pathology, dermatologic manifestations, obesity and metabolic syndromes.

The section 'Operative Techniques: Donor' offers extensive coverage of live donor nephrectomy, methods for avoiding and managing hazards during live donor nephrectomies and deceased donor procurement.

Kidney & Pancreas Transplantation has a multidisciplinary approach, comprised of contributions from internationally renowned nephrologists. It offers practical guidance and information relevant to a diverse audience of physicians.
