title: [Progress in surgery and quality of life, quality of life after organ transplantation].
abstract: Kidney and liver transplantations are well established surgical procedures. During the past years survival rates have improved 3% of kidney transplantations have 1-year mortality. Subjective quality of life and professional rehabilitation are associated with the graft function parameters of successful therapy. Seventy-six percent of liver-transplanted patients consider their quality of life improved after the operation. 52% are able to return to work. Future efforts must focus on improving immunosuppression for specific tolerance and sensitizing the public to the problems of obtaining organs for transplantation.
