Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a Transplant Surgeon?

A transplant surgeon has special training in transplantation surgery which involves replacing a patient's organ with a donor organ. A transplant surgeon performs transplants of various organs, such as kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, the pancreas, the intestine, and recently tracheal tissue, faces, and the penis.

They may consult the case with other doctors from multiple disciplines nephrologists, hepatologists, diabetologists, immunologists, and scientists before making any decision about the surgery and the approach for the surgery. The surgeon not just assesses the patient before the examination but also after the transplant surgery is completed and the patient is discharged.
