It opens with introductory chapters on the history of transplantation and the basic science of immunobiology, and then examines through an organ-based structure the practice of transplantation in each major system, from skin to intestine.The editor, Nadey S Hakim, is a consultant transplant and general surgeon at St Mary's Hospital, London, England, and has put together a volume that will serve as an invaluable guide for transplant surgeons as well as trainees.
