Abstract

This chapter focuses on the multifaceted historic evolution of visceral transplantation, with special reference to the pioneer experimental and clinical work triggered by the introduction of new premises, the availability of novel immunosuppressive drugs, and the innovation of surgical techniques. In addition, the current status of the different types of visceral transplantation is highlighted, with new insights for future consideration.
