Living Donor Organ Transplantation, 2nd Edition is a two-volume reference detailing surgical protocols, clinical evaluations, and systemic policies across living organ donation. Published by Academic Press and edited by Rainer W.G. Gruessner and Enrico Benedetti, this 1100-page work provides step-by-step guidance for surgical procedures accompanied by surgical illustrations.

Coverage encompasses solid organ transplantation for the kidney, liver, pancreas, intestine, and uterus, while featuring robotic and minimally invasive techniques. Clinical chapters examine immunosuppressive regimens, stem cell therapy, and tolerance induction protocols. Individual organ sections systematically address historical background, donor evaluation, recipient management, and cost analysis.

Recognized as a 2026 Doody's Core Title in Transplantation Surgery, the reference brings together international experts from institutions across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The material supports transplant surgeons, HPB surgeons, urologists, nephrologists, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, pancreatologists, diabetologists, endocrinologists, and obstetricians.
