Transplant Surgery
Message from Division Chief
The James D. Eason Transplant Institute at Methodist University Hospital has been providing expert care in solid organ transplantation for more than 40 years.
Our clinical team includes highly skilled, nationally recognized surgeons who work closely with our multidisciplinary, transplant- trained team of nephrologists, hepatologists, nurses, pharmacists, social workers and support services to provide an excellent patient experience and improve quality of life through organ transplantation.
The transplant team performs liver, kidney and pancreas transplants. We perform simultaneous liver/ kidney and kidney/pancreas transplants. We are also experienced in live donor liver and kidney transplantation.
