Kidney and Kidney/Pancreas Transplant
Miami Transplant Institute’s minimally invasive, robotic-assisted kidney and kidney/pancreas transplants reduce pain and dramatically speed recovery. Hospital stays for recipients have been reduced from three weeks to five days, with more than 70 percent of kidney donors returning home the same day.
The MTI kidney and kidney/pancreas teams work continuously to advance the future of transplantation and improve patient outcomes through research, innovative procedures, and technology. They performed the first-ever robotic-assisted kidney/pancreas transplant, which is often performed on insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes patients on dialysis.
Our living kidney donor program is internationally recognized as a model for improved patient outcomes. The living donor transplants reduce wait times for recipients, and the better match improves long-term outcomes.
When a loved one is not a match, our paired-kidney-exchange program, the only initiative of its kind in South Florida, matches those willing kidney donors with other recipients.
