Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation

Faculty have been involved in Loyola Medicine’s liver transplantation program since its inception in 1998.

We participate in the evaluation process for transplant candidates and help manage their cases. Residents are active participants in the care of the transplant candidate and are an integral part of the team by caring for these critically ill patients during their transplants which can take upwards of 12 hours.

Because Loyola Medicine also has an active hepatobiliary service, clinicians and residents are exposed to hepatobiliary surgery including hepatic resections, namely for metastatic disease, biliary reconstructive surgery, and pancreas surgery.
