Abstract

The sometimes strange behaviour of individual surgeons and the uncoordinated and delayed arrival of procurement teams have created a need for a rapid, effective technique that reduces potential errors during procurement and might allow for the removal of organs from unstable donors. The aim is that a single surgeon should take charge of the donation and coordinate the efforts of the respective teams [1].
