Abstract
In organ transplantation, preservation techniques are used to counteract loss of functional and structural integrity of the organ during the period starting with its removal from the donor and ending with its implantation into the recipient. Successful preservation would enable maximum utilization of donor organs, and organ allocation schemes to be in compliance with medical and ethical principles. It also would allow surgery to be scheduled as a semi-elective procedure instead of an emergency operation, providing more time for immunological monitoring and recipient preparation. Last but not least, it would secure the immediate and optimal re-functioning of the transplanted organ.
