Transplantation and General Surgery

Introduction to division of transplantation and general surgery

Kidney, liver and pancreas transplantation have been mainly performed in our department. Occurrences of dialysis patients have increased in number recently and have become an important issue. Kidney transplantations have been done since 1956 in our institution. The number of kidney, liver and pancreas transplantations are respectively 999, 97 and 9 patients in our institution until Dec 2015. We have come to expect good results.
