Living Donor Liver Transplants

With the agreement of a child's family, and when medically appropriate, our transplant team performs living donor liver transplants.

Our success is largely attributable to our high volume of living donor liver transplant procedures.  Currently, we perform the largest number of this special type of transplant in the nation. 

As the leader in Living Donor Transplants, our Program is less dependent on the supply of deceased donor organs.
