donor organ transplantation

Donor organ transplantation is a medical procedure where a damaged or failing organ in a patient is replaced with a healthy organ from a deceased or sometimes living donor. This process involves carefully matching donor and recipient to ensure compatibility, then surgically placing the donor organ into the recipient’s body. The goal is to restore the function of the original organ, improve quality of life, and potentially save lives. It’s a complex process that requires coordination, immune management to prevent rejection, and ongoing medical care after the transplant.
