Surgery - Transplantation Surgery

Baburao Koneru, MD, Chief

The Division of Transplantation Surgery, the first liver transplant center in New Jersey is also one of the nation’s busiest. Offering expertise in treating adult patients with liver failure requiring liver transplantation, the Division provides comprehensive multi disciplinary team management of other complex hepatobiliary disorders, such as liver tumors, Hepatitis C, biliary strictures, and portal hypertension.

The team consists of a designated group of physicians, physician assistants, nurse coordinators, social workers, financial coordinators, and nutritionists. Nurse coordinators play an important role as the daily, direct and personal liaison between the transplant team and the patient.

A dedicated in-patient unit provides standardized pre- and post-transplant care. An active support group for patients who are awaiting transplant and who have undergone transplant is also supported by the Division.

The division also provides follow-up care to patients transplanted at other centers.
