Transplant Surgeon

A transplant surgeon is a specialized doctor who performs surgeries to replace damaged or diseased organs with healthy ones from donors. Common transplants include kidneys, hearts, and livers. They assess patients to determine their eligibility, coordinate with donor programs, and lead the surgical procedure to ensure the new organ functions properly. Post-surgery, they monitor patients for complications and manage medication to prevent organ rejection. Their work is vital for improving and saving lives of individuals with severe organ failures.
