Multi-Organ Transplant Surgery
or call
919-613-7777During multi-organ transplant surgery, two or more diseased organs are replaced with healthy donor organs, usually from the same donor. The organs are transplanted during the same surgery, one at a time. Multi-organ transplants are relatively rare -- fewer than 1,450 were performed in the U.S. in 2023. Because the risks of a multi-organ transplant are generally higher than the risks of individual transplants, they require medical expertise and advanced surgical skills that are only available at hospitals like Duke. In 2023, we performed the most multi-organ transplants in the state and were in the top 10 in the nation.

Why Choose Duke
Extensive Experience in Multi-Organ Transplants
With one of the highest rates of multi-organ transplants in the region and the nation, Duke has the expertise and experience to perform combinations of organ transplants not offered at other hospitals, such as heart-kidney, heart-liver, heart-lung, liver-lung, and liver-small bowel-pancreas. We performed 40 multi-organ transplants in 2022 and 44 in 2023.
