Organ donation after brain death is made possible through the contribution and collaboration of many professionals. The high rate of 5.3 organs transplanted per donor is achieved due to Japan’s characteristic system, where the recovery team directly examines the donor by performing echocardiograms, bronchoscopies, and abdominal echoes. Additionally, a recovery team meeting is held prior to the organ recovery surgery, where the incision location of blood vessels between organs is mutually confirmed to maximize the number of transplanted organs. This paper aims to describe the procedures and key aspects of the organ recovery team from the perspective of the transplant network, with the goal of maintaining excellent coordination and cooperation.
