The Transplant Surgery Service performs both kidney and pancreatic-kidney transplants. Established in 1968, the service features integrated care by dedicated transplant surgeons and physicians and has achieved excellent graft and patient survival. Patients are generally referred by the patient's nephrologist or dialysis center. A comprehensive evaluation is performed prior to accepting patients for transplantation. Special emphasis is given to the advantages of living-donor transplantation where applicable. Postoperatively, patients are followed through the Transplant Program in concert with the patient's referring nephrologist and personal physician.

Telephone consultations with the transplant surgeons and physicians prior to referral is encouraged whenever there are questions regarding the patients suitability for transplantation. Patients undergoing kidney transplants, pancreas-kidney transplants and liver transplants at other centers are also eligible for postoperative care through the Transplant Surgery Service. Patients requiring either new vascular access for hemodialysis or revision or an existing access may be referred to the service. The Transplant Service welcomes physician inquiries.
