UT Southwestern’s transplant programs offer a full range of expertise to help any patient in need – from burn victims and those losing their sight to those who stand in dire need of a heart, lung, kidney, or liver transplant. The internal network of researchers, physicians, surgeons, nurses, and transplant coordinators all working together to save and restore patients’ lives has solidified UT Southwestern as one of the top transplant providers in the nation. The Transplant Services Center manages eye and tissue donations for UT Southwestern patients as well as for hospitals nationwide. Each year, the Center assists with more than 14,000 transplants by providing grafts for procedures such as cornea transplants, mastectomy reconstruction, skin transplantation, heart valve replacements, and various surgeries using bone allografts.
