Piedmont Liver Transplant vs UW Liver使用状況と統計

The Piedmont Liver Transplant / Hepatobiliary App provides 24/7 access for referring physicians to the Piedmont Transplant Institute team. Piedmont is dedicated to making the referral process better for patients and physicians. The app encompasses information for both the referring physician and the patient who are in need of a liver transplant and complex liver care. For over eight years, our team has been committed to caring for patients with liver disease, and since our first liver transplant in 2005, we have performed over 650 liver transplants. We now have six liver transplant surgeons and four transplant hepatologists devoted to the care of patients with end stage liver disease. Our program has grown to one of the largest in the Southeast, performing 90 to 100 liver transplants per year. Our patient and graft survival data is better than the national average. Our hepatobiliary program has grown at a similar pace. We now perform over 150 complex hepatobiliary cases per year. Our team is equipped to manage all surgical diseases of the liver, pancreas and bile ducts. Minimally invasive and robotic procedures are also incorporated into our surgical armamentarium. Our app provides contact information via cell phone and email for all of the Piedmont Transplant Institute physicians and surgeons for urgent referrals. With the built in Quick Referral tool, referring physicians can start the referral process directly from their iOS device. Patients can use the app to learn more about the liver transplant team, access information about the transplant journey and what to expect, as well as watch a video of the team performing a liver transplant.
