Index 461

"This is an excellent and thorough resource on kidney and
pancreas transplantation. It will be useful for young training
surgeons as well as physician extenders, OR staff, transplant
coordinators, and all members of the transplant team looking for a
quick yet complete source of information to clarify any questions
they may have." (Doody's, 15 March
2013)

"These are minor points and the Editors should be
congratulated for producing an excellent and accessible handbook
that can be strongly recommended to all members of transplant
teams, irrespective of whether they are based in Europe or
elsewhere." (American Journal of
Transplantation. 1 January 2013)
