Bone Marrow Transplant Surgery

Bone marrow transplant surgery is a medical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow—the tissue in your bones that produces blood cells—with healthy marrow from a donor or the patient’s own body. This is often necessary for conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood disorders. The process involves first preparing the patient with pre-transplant treatment, then infusing the healthy marrow through an IV. The new marrow helps restore the body’s ability to produce blood cells, improving immune function and overall health. Recovery may take time, as the body needs to adjust to the new cells.
