Our Approach
Each year, the center performs 50 stem cell transplants and 50 solid organ transplants on average, which is the largest number of pediatric organ transplants at a single center in Illinois. Our highly experienced transplant surgeons also use innovative surgical techniques that spare patients the need for a transplant when possible.
The Siragusa Transplantation Center uses a collaborative approach that brings together the best medical and surgical transplant care. A pediatric transplant surgeon, Riccardo Superina, MD, provides surgical direction for the center. He has pioneered procedures now used around the world. Estella Alonso, MD, is the medical director for the center.
All of our doctors and nurse practitioners have advanced training in pediatrics or adolescent medicine, allowing them to meet the unique needs of children and teens. Our entire staff is committed to giving your child the best possible care.
