More than 130 kidney transplants and the attendant vascular and peritoneal dialysis access procedures are performed annually at OHSU Hospital. An R-1, an intermediate urology resident, and an R-4 provide house staff coverage. An R-1 rotates through the general urology service at OHSU, where the following sub-specialities are practiced: microsurgery, infertility, female urology, endourology, urinary tract reconstruction, calculus disease treatment including percutaneous and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, urologic oncology, pediatric urology and impotence. An intern also rotates through the VAMC general urology service where patient care responsibility is shared with a chief urology resident and a junior urology resident.

Each of the specialty surgical services manages its respective organs through end stage, including transplantation. The general surgery resident is exposed to cardiac and pulmonary transplantation on the cardiothoracic service, pancreatic and liver transplantation on the liver transplant service and renal transplantation on the urology service.
