organ transplant surgery

Organ transplant surgery involves replacing a diseased or failing organ in a patient with a healthy organ from a donor. The process starts with matching donors and recipients based on factors like blood type and tissue compatibility. Surgeons carefully remove the donor organ and implant it into the recipient, reconnecting blood vessels and other structures to ensure proper function. The goal is to restore health and organ function, but the patient typically needs to take immunosuppressant medications afterward to prevent rejection. Transplants can significantly improve quality of life and survival for patients with end-stage organ failure.
