The Transplant Program at Hospital Angeles Metropolitano each patient from the initial evaluation through long-term follow-up, using a comprehensive approach that combines science, logistics, and a compassionate, patient-centered approach. The scope of the service includes kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, and bone marrow transplants, with defined selection criteria for both adult and pediatric patients. This breadth allows us to treat conditions ranging from advanced kidney failure to complex liver diseases, as well as cases requiring joint evaluation by multiple specialties.

The process begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation to confirm the need for transplantation, assess risks, and optimize the patient’s overall health prior to surgery. The preoperative process includes compatibility testing, immunological evaluation, and a review of comorbidities to determine the appropriate immunosuppression regimen. Preoperative care, appropriate vaccinations, infection prevention measures, and warning signs requiring immediate consultation are clearly explained. In cases involving a living donor, a rigorous ethical and clinical assessment is conducted to ensure protection, informed consent, and realistic expectations for both parties.

Subsequently, a multidisciplinary team designs an individualized plan that addresses perioperative safety and a gradual return to daily activities. During surgery, the program employs up-to-date techniques and well-equipped operating rooms to facilitate efficient procedures, bleeding control, and a more predictable recovery. In the early postoperative period, pain management, hemodynamic monitoring, and fine-tuning of medications are priorities to protect the graft and reduce complications.

Coordination with the blood bank, intensive care, imaging, and rehabilitation speeds up decision-making and provides a safe environment at every stage of the process. Long-term follow-up is a key component of the outcome.

The team addresses questions, reinforces healthy habits, and tailors recommendations to each stage of life after transplantation. The goal does not end with surgical discharge: a new phase begins in which treatment adherence and constant monitoring make the difference between complications and stability. The emotional well-being of the patient and their family is also prioritized, because a process of this magnitude requires support, timely information, and achievable goals.
