Summary
This book provides an expert view into the current technologies that are revolutionizing the field of solid organ transplantation. This unique book provides insight into progress made in areas spanning robotic surgery to tissue engineering and also gives a glimpse into what may lie ahead for this innovative specialty. Topics covered include nanotherapy, machine perfusion, artificial organ development, robotics in transplant surgery, mobile health technology, stem cell therapy, and ex vivo repair of organs. This is an ideal book for biomedical engineers, physicians and surgeons, general and transplant surgeons, medical students, medical and surgical trainees, and transplant procurement technicians. This book also: Provides a complete overview of the latest technologies in whole organ transplantation and is a central source for current novel concepts in transplantation Enriches reader understanding of machine perfusion of organs, mobile health technology in transplantation, and xenotransplantation Shares many insights into cellular therapy in transplantation and tolerance as well as nanotherapy in organ preservation and ischemia reperfusion injury.
