The intention of this book is to promote a surgical technique of abdominal organ
procurement in order to avoid organ damage and thus enhance the quality of
retrieved organs.
Organ procurement from a brain death donor is an essential part of organ transplantation.
In donors where more than one organ is removed, the surgical procedure
is critically important and could be challenging both for the procurement and
recipient surgeons. Surgical injury or inadequate preservation of organs at this stage
may cause irreversible organ damage or can lead to serious complications in the
recipient.
