Rainer Gruessners Worldly Medical Perspective
Pays Off

• Dr. Rainer Gruessner

2

• Rainer Gruessner has traveled the world in search
  of cures to various illnesses that plague
  millions worldwide. Beginning his pursuit with a
  medical degree at the Johannes Gutenberg
  University in Mainz, Germany, in 1976, Dr.
  Gruessner has worked with surgeons around the
  world to improve the quality of life for his
  patients.

• After completing his Professorial Thesis at The
  Philipp University of Marburg, Germany, in 1991,
  Dr. Gruessner returned to the United States to
  serve as an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the
  University of Minnesota. There, over time, he
  mentored over 25 surgical fellows in his
  expertise of kidney, pancreatic, intestinal and
  liver transplantation.

• During his tenure at the university, he travelled
  to Japan to receive additional clinical training
  in living donor liver transplants. In 1997, he
  served as Professor and Chairman of the
  Department of Surgery at the University Hospital
  of Zurich, Switzerland. He then returned to the
  University of Minnesota the following year to
  serve as the Vice-Chair of Surgery and would
  remain there until 2007, when he was appointed as
  the Chairman of Surgery at the University of
  Arizona in Tucson.

• Dr. Gruessners Japanese training in liver
  transplantation would immediately benefit him in
  1996 when he performed Minnesotas first liver
  transplant from a living donor. In 2012, while at
  the University of Arizona, he saved the life of
  terminally ill toddler Aliyah N. 1-year-old
  Aliyahs liver was originally unable to secrete
  bile, causing severe cirrhosis when she was just
  two-and-a-half months old.

6

• Dr. Rainer Gruessner was able to use a small
  portion of the liver of Aliyahs mother to save
  her daughters life. The innovative procedure was
  responsible for giving young Aliyah another
  chance at life, and Rainer Gruessners hope of
  curing terminal illness lives on. Two years
  later, Aliyah continues to do well.
