PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Solid organ transplantation is now a routine component of management for organ failure of the kidney, liver, heart, lung, and intestine in children. Improved patient selection, surgical technique, postoperative care, organ preservation, and immunosuppression management has led to tremendous improvements in both graft and patient survival. This chapter addresses general issues confronted by all solid organ transplantation. Renal, liver, multivisceral, and heart transplantation are discussed in subsequent chapters. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (bone marrow transplantation) is discussed in Chapter 133.
