Summary:

Having become a classic since its first appearance during the 1990s and through subsequent editions in 2001 and 2006, the textbook and reference continues to provide information for physicians dealing with liver transplantation whether as trainees, as specialists in transplantation, or as general practitioners with liver transplantation patients. A number of new authors were invited to update existing topics and take account of the problems of organ shortening with the use of extended criteria donors, new approaches and indications for liver transplantation for malignancies, a variety of infectious diseases, and other emerging matters. The areas covered are managing the potential transplant recipient, donor issues and management in the perioperative period, chronic problems in the transplant recipient, and pediatric liver transplantation.
