Liver Transplant

Treatment of Children

The pediatric liver transplant program is based at Mayo Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The pediatric program is closely affiliated with Mayo's successful adult liver transplant program.

Because of their smaller size, many children requiring liver transplant need a smaller segment of a donor liver. Mayo Clinic surgeons are experienced in resecting (dividing) donor livers for children to ensure a properly functioning organ after recovery.

Volumes and survival statistics

More than 100 liver transplants have been performed in children since the program began in Minnesota in 1985. See current statistics.
