Abstract
Consultation-liaison in the renal transplant unit at Hannover Medical School began in Summer, 1976, and has developed up to now, step by step, in a somewhat experimental way. We emphasize this experimental building-up way because, to the best of our knowledge, there has not existed up to now a consultation-liaison unit which could serve as a model for us. Concerning the number of patients transplanted, initially, in 1975, 35 patients and in 1977, 100 patients underwent this procedure which was done by the Abdominal and Transplant-Surgery Department of our medical school. Our consultation-liaison activity was performed by our patient care, our regular conferences with participation of the nurses and psychosomaticist, and our teaching.
