Improving the future of transplants
One of the most notable research efforts at The Ohio State College of Medicine are those conducted at the Comprehensive Transplant Center. More than 10,000 transplant surgeries have been performed at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center – an impressive milestone that is reached by less than 10% of the country’s transplant centers.
Since 1967, Ohio State’s Comprehensive Transplant Center has cared for patients with diseases of the lungs, heart, kidney, pancreas, and liver. Already ranked 9th by volume in the United States, the 125 physicians, nurses and staff involved in the program hope to increase their volume even more.
Ohio State is fighting the opioid crisis
The Ohio State University College of Medicine received a $65.9 million federal research grant that will fund a consortium of academic, state, and community partners dedicated to reducing opioid deaths by 40% within the next three years. Sadly, Ohio has the second-largest number of opioid deaths in the country. However, this positions The Ohio State College of Medicine to provide leadership, insights and implementation strategies to help make positive changes in the community, the state, and the country.
Robotics are Ohio State’s strong suit
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is well-known for its firsts when it comes to breakthroughs in robotic surgery. Randall Wolf and Robert Michler were the first in the country to perform a robotically-assisted heart bypass surgery in 1999. Ten years later, under the direction of Michler, the medical center became the first in North America to use the da Vinci HS SI robot during surgery. That same year, Ohio State was the first to demonstrate robotic kidney surgery with a single incision.
