Except for legends and claims of miracles, most histories of transplantation
cover only the last 60 years because there were no earlier successes. However,
the story of even this era has been documented in such rich detail that a full
account would fill several volumes. Thus, this brief summary must be limited to
highly selected "landmarks." Some landmarks had an immediate impact, but the
importance of others went unrecognized for decades. Some findings that deserved
landmark status were overlooked or forgotten, whereas others of no biological
significance had major impact. Placing these events in perspective is
challenging. Several of transplantation's pioneers are still alive, and most of
the others are within living memory. Virtually all of them have produced their
own accounts. For the most part, they agree on what the "landmarks" are, but
their differences in emphasis and perspective make an interesting story.
