This is a comprehensive textbook of liver transplantation covering both medical and surgical aspects and based on the experience of the internationally famous Liver Unit at King's College Hospital, London. Dame Sheila Sherlock, the doyenne of liver disease, recently commented that Almost every aspect of modern hepatology has been advanced by the liver unit at King's". There is considerable interest in this topic at present, especially with the advent of combined liver and bowel transplants, and the King's Liver Unit does the largest number of transplants in the UK, making it the third largest such centre in Europe. This timely book provides the reader with a one-stop reference source on liver transplantation, giving authoritative coverage of this important and advancing subject."
