Sommario/riassunto

This book is designed to highlight recent updates in living related transplants, with chapters by leaders in the different types of transplantation. There are very few texts that tackle living donor liver, lung, pancreas and intestinal transplantation as well as the connected ethical issues. With some color photographs illustrating procedures, this concise book will be a valuable resource for students or professionals interested in developing a global view of the ethics and



practice of transplantation.
