Abstract
- The necessary and possible rate of transplantations is limited by the insufficient availability of donor organs. In the FRG, only 36% of all hospitals (transplantation centers excluded) are active in postmortem organ donation. In only 57% are other organs than the kidneys (liver, pancreas, heart, lung) explanted. The main problems do not derive primarily from structural difficulties (no intensive care unit, limited capacity of operation room or staff), but from an insufficient degree of cooperation with the transplantation center and an uncertain legal position. Possible solutions to the problem (transplantation coordinator, legal regulation) are discussed.
