All Specialties & Services

Saint Luke’s is a leader in kidney transplantation—performing the first successful kidney transplant in the Kansas City area in 1969 and the first living kidney donation surgery via laparoscopy in the region.

Patients who receive organs from living donors tend to have better outcomes than those who receive organs from deceased donors. Our living kidney donor experts perform living kidney donor surgeries and offer personalized support and unmatched expertise to donors who consider this selfless act.

After surgery, the resulting wound needs proper care for healing, minimizing infection risk, and avoiding complications.
