The Division of Liver/Pancreas Transplantation Surgery provides state-of-the-art care for patients with end stage liver disease and hepatobiliary and pancreaticobiliary disease, as well as patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Rapid evolution in transplant indications, transplant techniques, and immunosuppressive medication, along with the development of new approaches, are evaluated and applied as clinical situations warrant. Early referral is encouraged so that evaluation and wait-listing can be timed to achieve optimal outcomes. Twenty-four hour access to the physician staff is available for consultation and referrals. A comprehensive inpatient service provides focused care of these patients with end organ failure. Specialty outpatient clinics provide in-depth pre- and post-transplant care. Specialists in hepatology, gastroenterology, nephrology, diabetology, cardiology, pulmonary, interventional radiology, anesthesiology, urology, psychiatry, psychology, dietetics, physical therapy, social services and ethical/pastoral care, are all coordinated through the Service to assist with multi-disciplinary care for this patient population. The section conducts multiple investigative protocols in transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery.
