After spending 8 weeks in the same hospital where he saves lives, #NYP/@ColumbiaMed's Dr. Tomoaki Kato, a world-renowned surgeon who contracted #COVID19, was finally strong enough to be discharged. Drop a 🎉 to join us in sending him our best wishes: https://t.co/LYJKHlUflC

Our Lung Transplant program just hit a big milestone: 1000 transplants since 2001, when Dr. Selim Arcasoy and Dr. Joshua Sonett transformed a small service into one of the country’s top centers for lung transplant care.

“The patient is left in the dark,” explained NKF Board Member Dr. Matthew Cooper. “You can’t believe that it happens in the United States in the 21st century, but it absolutely does.” https://t.co/o18TpeQKfV

More than 25,000 transplant candidates died after hospitals refused offers of organs a new study finds https://t.co/65ypCNvlKy

[Sumit Mohan @SumitMohanMD]

These are offers only for kidneys that were transplanted – meaning that the numbers are likely much worse if we were to include the kidneys that were discarded https://t.co/TUxB4LNlKB #kidneydiscards #declinedoffers @SAHusainMD @KristenKingMPH @RachelPatzerPhD @jradnephro

How does living donor liver transplantation work?

Due to the liver's unique ability to regenerate itself! Dr. Jean Emond explains how surgeons can remove a segment of a healthy liver, implant it, and within weeks, the liver grows back to normal size.
