“The purpose is to provide a step‐by‐step description of organ procurement. This is a worthy goal because the major textbook of transplantation has a rather outdated and very concise review of organ donation. The book does a good job of reviewing the entire process from donor evaluation, to ethical concerns, to technical aspectsof the procedure, to organ preservation solutions. This is probably more meaningful for physician assistants and residents/fellows. … The pictures are excellent.” (Krishna G. Putchakayala, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)

“This book, “Multiorgan Procurement for Transplantation. A Guide to Surgical Technique”, contains a wealth of data and information on the organ procurement procedures that constitute the first steps in organ transplantation. … Practical advice often is provided to the reader in the form of answers to commonly asked questions. The result is a book that is an easy read for transplant surgeons, trainees, and fellows.  It also is a source of important information for nurses and all other professionals involved in organ transplantation, including those in the emergency room, intensive care unit, and wards.  Whether interested or not in transplantation, all young surgeons can profit from this textbook … .” (Thomas E. Starzl, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Surgery, University of Pittsburgh)
