From modest beginnings transplantation has rapidly reached the forefront of modern medicine. The history of transplantation as a clinical treatment only really begins in the second half of the 20th century.
Continued progress in surgical techniques, organ procurement and preservation and immunosuppressive therapy for rejection has made it possible to successfully transplant most vital organs.
Further information on all aspects of transplantation, general and specialised, local, national and international is available in both written and electronic form.
