When it comes to adult-to-child, partial, full, and living-donor liver transplants, M Health Fairview Transplant Care leads the region with more than 1,500 procedures to date. The University of Minnesota Solid Organ Transplant Program has a long legacy of excellence in training doctors around the world in transplantation and in providing expert care to liver transplant patients. We have pioneered many innovative approaches to transplantation through the years. Today, more than 18,000 patients, including children, in the US are waiting for a new liver. As new surgical techniques and better immunosuppressant drugs are developed, more patients with liver disease have become eligible for a transplant; in some of these cases, the best option for transplantation is with a living donor. We have been performing this procedure since 1997.
