Organ Transplantation

Organ transplantation is a medical procedure that involves transferring a healthy organ from one person to another to replace a damaged or failing organ. This process can involve various organs, such as the heart, kidneys, liver, or lungs. Donors can be living or deceased, and matching is essential to minimize rejection risks. Before transplantation, recipients undergo thorough assessments to ensure they are suitable candidates. Successful transplants can significantly improve quality of life and extend life expectancy. Advances in medicine and technology have made organ transplantation safer and more effective, although challenges like organ shortages and rejection remain ongoing issues.
