What do Transplant Surgeons do?

Transplant surgery physicians perform the surgical removal of a healthy organ from a donor and its transplantation into a recipient. 

They are part of a multidisciplinary team that evaluates and prepares patients, performs the surgery, and manages immediate and long-term post-operative care. 

Their work involves complex surgical procedures for organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and pancreas.

It also extends to pre-operative assessment, post-operative recovery, and managing complications like organ rejection. 

What they do

Pre-operative care: Evaluating a patient’s medical history, assessing surgical risks, and working with the transplant team to prepare the patient for the operation. 

Surgical procedures: Performing the surgery to remove an organ from a donor and implant it into the recipient. This is often a complex and lengthy procedure. 

Post-operative care: Monitoring the patient’s recovery after the transplant, which includes managing immunosuppression medications to prevent organ rejection while minimizing side effects. 

Managing complications: Identifying and treating any complications that arise after the transplant, both short-term and long-term. 

Long-term follow-up: Overseeing the long-term health and follow-up care of the recipient. 

Other related surgeries: Performing other procedures such as dialysis access surgery and general elective surgery.
