The Transplant Center has been committed to helping people live longer and healthier lives since 1963 when we performed out first kidney transplant. Our transplant program is known as the program willing and able to take on difficult cases, including patients who have mulitple health conditions.

The Intestinal Transplant Program at University of Minnesota Medical Center is one of only a few centers in the country offering intestinal transplant. We provide this life saving therapy to patients with such conditions as:

• Severe complications of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy
• Intestinal obstructions 
• Intestinal tumors
• Non-funtional or missing short bowel

Our intestinal transplant team consists of nationally regarded abdominal transplant surgeons. Together with our gastroenterology physicians, they offer patients comprehensive, coordinated care, in our world class Transplant Center.
