Surgery
Liver Transplant
Liver transplants have been performed at University Hospital since 1988. This program is the only one in the State of New Jersey and offers our residents a unique exposure to an active transplant program, which ranges from evaluation of potential transplant candidates to the treatment of complex hepatobiliary disorders. Our residents are actively involved in the various phases of transplantation, including organ procurement, surgical transplantation and postoperative care. In addition the faculty perform a variety of hepatobiliary surgical procedures for complex hepatobiliary surgical disorders. This provides an excellent opportunity for residents to acquire the basic skills necessary while operating on liver and bile ducts.
