Texas Transplant Physician Group serves its patients at Texas Transplant Institute^** on the campus of Methodist Specialty and Transplant Hospital^*, San Antonio

The Liver Transplant Program has the best one-year patient survival rate in the United States among patients with the most seriously advanced liver disease, according to data from the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN)/SRTS Annual Data Report.

Nationally, our program is in the top 10 percentile in the U.S. for three-year survival rates.

The program has continuously maintained the best one- and three-year patient survival rates in Texas for the past 4.5 years. Most recent statistics show a 97.56 percent survival rate for patients one year after their transplant (82 patients) and 86.57 percent for patients (57 patients) three years after their transplant.  No other San Antonio hospital ranks in the top 10 in either category.  

On a percentage basis more medically-urgent transplants are performed here than at any other program in Texas (based on patient MELD scores).

We are the only liver disease center in Central and South Texas to offer new and innovative treatment for primary liver cancer patients when neither resective surgical procedures nor transplantation are a viable option.

Since we began in 2001 we have performed more than 290 liver transplants.

We are approved by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), Medicare and Medicaid.

The unique Liver Tumor Consortium at Texas Transplant Institute was created out of a need to provide organized support for liver cancer. The multidisciplinary team includes transplant surgeons, general surgeons with special interest in solid organ tumors, interventional radiologists and oncologists.

We provide care for primary and metastatic liver tumors with multiple therapies: radiofrequency ablation, radioactive microspheres, chemoembolization, chemotherapy, liver resection and transplantation.

We have fully bilingual, Spanish-speaking physicians, clinical and support staff.
