Abstract:
Along with the development of more specific and potent immunosuppressive agents, improvements in perioperative care of the allograft recipient have made transplantation of nonrenal organs a reality and contributed greatly to overall improvements in graft and patient survival. Thorough pretransplant evaluation, intensive care therapy and monitoring (when indicated), and meticulous postoperative care are essential to a successful outcome and to minimize the occurrence of complications.
