What can you expect from your first visit with a Transplant Surgeon?

A transplant surgeon will evaluate your health condition to know if you are fit for transplant. The doctor will ask you a few questions related to your symptoms to know the severity of the health condition you are suffering from. They will order a few diagnostic tests to do a complete analysis of the consequences of transplant if any. If the transplant surgeon finds that transplant can have a harmful effect on your health, they will recommend alternative treatment options or will tell you to wait for some time so that you become fit for the transplant.

In addition to tests and physical exams, you could get a lot of information at your first appointment. You may need to bring a family member or friend along with you. The person you bring can help ask questions, listen, and take notes.

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.
