Abstract

|
|
|
The first deceased donor organ (kidney) recovery and transplantation was performed in 1979. Since February 2000, deceased donor organ recovery and allocation have been performed exclusively by the direction of the Korean Network for Organ Sharing (KONOS), the governmental authority for organ transplantation in Korea. Herein, we review the annual incidence of deceased donor occurrence, transplantation statistics, and organ allocation status in the era of KONOS, and discuss about futur e directions for improved organ transplantation activities in Korea.
