It is a step-by-step guide with photographs and drawings with clear explanations highlighting pitfalls.

Organ procurement is an essential and important part of organ transplantation. In most donors, the surgical procedure can be challenging for an inexperienced surgeon where more than one organ is removed. This part of transplant surgery is critically important. Inadequate preservation or surgical injury at this stage can lead to complete organ damage (not transplantable) or to serious complications in the recipient.
