MICHAEL F.A. WOODRUFF Emeritus Professor of Surgery, University of
Edinburgh This book grew out of a very successful conference on
Organ Transplantation held in Kuwait in December 1982. The material
presented at the conference has been expanded and brought up to
date, and the result is a well written and authoritative account of
many aspects of organ transplantation by a distinguished team of
contributors drawn from many countries. A unique feature of the
book is the account it contains of the development of organ
transplantation in the Middle East. Although, as yet, it has been
virtually impossible in Islamic countries to take organs after
death for use as transplants, it is beginning to look as if this
situation may change. Meanwhile, using living volunteer donors and
a small number of cadaveric organs sent from other countries,
transplant teams in Kuwait and Turkey are obtaining results with
kidney transplants which are as good, in terms of both transplant
survival and patient survival, as those reported from acknowledged
centres of excellence in the United States, Europe and other
countries where organ transplantation has been established for many
years.
