About Transplant Surgeon

A transplant surgeon is a doctor specializing in the transplant surgeries and post-operative care of the patients who need to undergo surgical procedures such as kidney, liver, pancreas or heart. Transplant surgeries are either life saving, for instance liver transplantation or life prolonging as in case of kidney transplantation.

Transplant surgeons first do a general surgical evaluation of the patient to assess the risks and evaluate the benefits of the surgery. They then consult the case with other doctors and healthcare specialists from multiple disciplines such as hepatologists, nephrologists, and diabetologists, immunologists and scientists before making the decision about the surgery and the approach to be followed for the surgery. The surgeon not just examines and assess the patient before the examination but even after the transplant procedure is completed and the patient has been discharged.

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.

A transplant surgeon first does a general surgical evaluation of the patient to assess the possible risks and also evaluate the benefits of transplant surgery. 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.

What are the qualifications of a Transplant Surgeon?

The training and education received by a transplant surgeon are extensive. The education starts with a five-and-a-half-year MBBS course after completion of high school. After gaining this degree, the student then obtains MD or DO degree from an accredited medical school. During this period, the student is trained in basic medical care in both clinical and classroom settings. After completing medical school, the student needs to complete a residency program in general surgery.

Residencies in general surgery typically last five years and consist of a curriculum of clinical rotations in a wide range of surgical disciplines. The physician is trained in the different caveats of surgery including complex general surgical oncology, vascular operations, critical care, trauma management, transplant surgery, hand surgery as well as pediatric surgery. Residents in general surgery also do daily interaction with patients to improve their communication skills.

After completion of the residency program, the doctor must then complete fellowship training in transplant surgery. They are trained as well as educated in all the areas of transplant surgery with a focus on pathology, physiology, immunology, and anatomy specifically related to diagnoses and treatments of the final stages of organ failure and diseases. The surgeon will get specialized training in surgical transplantation of organs, and any related procedures that might be necessary when completing a transplant. Physicians also have exposure to operations like liver and kidney transplants, which are two of the most common in the discipline.

What conditions do Transplant Surgeons treat?

Organ transplantation is used if a patient is suffering from a very critical condition or is facing an organ failure.
