Liver Transplantation

The field of liver transplantation has undergone tremendous change and continues to evolve at a fast pace. This book covers topics beyond standard care and discusses issues that are new and rapidly evolving in the field. These include innovative surgical methods to maximize the donor pool, non-surgical methods to expand the existing pool of additional donors, the changing face of liver rejection, and management of infections in the presence of new antivirals.

This book is an interesting read for surgeons, hepatologists, and healthcare workers looking after patients who need or have had a liver transplant.
