The first edition of this book, Basic Concepts in Organ
Procurement, Perfusion and Preservation for Transplantation, was
published 27 years ago, in 1982 when organ procurement and
preservation began to advance in the study of the best ways to
preserve organs for transplantation. The second edition, Organ
Procurement and Preservation for Transplantation, 2nd Edition,
followed 15 years later, in 1997, with the goal of finding common
denominators in the best preservation techniques for
transplantation. In this current third edition, 11 years after the
second edition, similar goals are still pursued of defining the
best preservation methods, but there is now more evidence,
including results, and new advances have reached publication and
are being incorporated into ischemia and reperfusion techniques and
organ preservation studies. Many preservation solutions have been
introduced, important preservation solution components have been
better defined, and improved perfusion methods are being
considered, especially for the increasing number of organ donors
with non-beating hearts who are being sought for transplantation.
This edition (2009) engaged experts in the field of organ
preservation to review, update, and rewrite each of the chapters.
Crafted in collaboration with Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, the text is
eminently informative and easily understandable. Each solid organ
that can be transplanted has an entire chapter devoted to the
particular methods of its preservation. One chapter apiece, in
other words, features insights on the preservation of the kidney,
the liver, the pancreas, the small bowel, the heart, and the
heart-lung. The title of the present book has been shortened to
better represent its content. Thus, Organ Preservation for
Transplantation, 3rd Edition, demonstrates a more accurate
depiction of its current status. Nevertheless, the goal of this
book remains exactly the same as in the first edition, that is "to
analyze the most important aspects of organ procurement, perfusion
and preservation for transplantation".
