- liver transplants, including live donor liver transplants
- kidney transplants, including living donor kidney transplants and laparoscopic kidney transplants
- pancreas transplants, including kidney-pancreas transplants
The NYU organ transplant team also treats patients awaiting transplants with services that include:

- transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedures
With a track record of over 1300 liver, kidney, and pancreas transplants since the Division’s inception, NYU’s transplant surgeons perform the highest volume of organ transplants, with survival rates among the best in the country.
NYU’s transplant doctors treat the second highest number of primary liver cancer patients in the United Status and are innovators in living-donor liver and kidney transplantation, performing live donor laparoscopic kidney removals and live donor liver transplants.
