Pediatric Transplants
Back to the Transplantation Home Page
The pediatric organ transplant programs at both NewYork-Presbyterian's pediatric centers, the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center and the Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, serve the needs of children with acute and chronic organ failure.

The transplant team at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital performs heart, kidney, lung, liver, intestinal, and multivisceral transplantation through the collaborative efforts of the Transplant Division, the Department of Pediatric General Surgery, and the Department of Pediatrics. Surgeons at the Komansky Center for Children's Health focus on pediatric kidney transplants.
Transplantation Expertise
The Hospital is a leader in pediatric organ transplantation and treats children with some of the most serious and complex conditions. Doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian have performed several procedures in which children with severe conditions required transplantation of five organs. These procedures require the highest level of medical and surgical expertise, and NewYork-Presbyterian's transplant outcomes – both complication rates and long-term survival – are among the best in the nation.
Comprehensive Supportive Care
To ensure that our patients who must undergo transplantation are well cared for before and after their transplant, doctors and other health-care providers here work closely together across disciplines. This team provides not only thorough medical follow-up but nutritional and psychosocial support, which are all extremely important for continuing good health and quality of life.
