The Transplantation Surgery department at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine focuses on advanced liver disease treatment, primarily through liver transplantation from both live and brain-dead donors. The department provides comprehensive care, including donor management and pre-transplant counseling, establishing a lifelong medical care system for recipients and donors. Specializing in a wide range of liver conditions such as fulminant hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, and various congenital liver diseases, the department is highly regarded for its adult and pediatric liver transplantation techniques. They are a certified facility for brain-dead donor liver transplants and regularly perform complex procedures, including blood type incompatible transplantation. The department also offers specialized outpatient clinics for recipients and living donors, as well as dedicated transplantation counseling sessions. Research in transplantation surgery is also a significant focus, with efforts directed towards improving surgical techniques and addressing critical post-transplant issues like infection control, immune response management, and the prevention of cancer recurrence in transplanted livers. Their clinical results show a one-year survival rate exceeding 90%.
