Mayo Clinic's liver transplant program in Rochester, Minnesota, has developed as a natural extension of the world-renowned and award-winning Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. As one of the largest referral centers for liver disease in the world, Mayo Clinic provides an ideal environment to care for patients.

The liver transplant program at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester is known nationally and internationally as a center of excellence. Since the first liver transplant was performed at Mayo Clinic in 1985, more than 300 liver transplants are performed each year in children and adults. Our multidisciplinary team approach to health care, experienced staff and quality facilities have allowed us to achieve short- and long-term patient survival rates above national averages. See liver transplant volumes and success measures.

The establishment of the Mayo Clinic William J. von Liebig Center for Transplantation and Clinical Regeneration has been a milestone in transplantation at Mayo Clinic. The consolidation of all transplant programs (liver, kidney, pancreas, islet cell, heart, lung, bone marrow) into the Transplant Center has permitted unprecedented multidisciplinary cooperation and integrated care, further enabling us to improve the health and lives of our patients.
