Organ Donor Management

Year: 2016

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: The processes of organ donation and transplantation have developed considerably over the past decades. As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, there were successful reports of transplantation of human skin and cornea [1, 2]. However, it was not until 1954 that the first successful solid organ transplant between identical twins was reported at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston [3]. The advancement of immunosuppressive therapy over the years and the improvement in life-sustaining therapy have increased the potentials for cadaveric organ donation.
