"... is a fundamental work for specialists in tissue banking as well as for doctors engaged in surgical and non-surgical disciplines. It is beyond doubt a great contribution to this sphere of knowledge and the authors deserve due appreciation." ACTA Chirugiae Plasticae, 1999 "... This book, or more correctly this series, is highly recommended to all practitioners, nurses, scientists and administrators in the field of tissue banking ... This series should be on the shelf of every tissue bank in addition to their books of procedures and references." Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery
