The Atlas of Liver Transplantation presents the principles and techniques of liver transplantation in a vividly illustrated, easy-to-understand format. Its primary objective is to portray common situations in liver transplantation: from graft harvesting to explantation of the native liver, portocaval anastomosis to biliary anastomosis. Featuring more than 350 color photographs organized into thirteen chapters, Atlas of Liver Transplantation is designed to be equally useful for students, surgical residents, trainees, surgeons seeking current evidence-based information in subspecialty areas relevant to their general surgical practice, and leading experts in the field.
