transplant

A transplant is a medical procedure where a damaged or diseased organ or tissue is replaced with a healthy one from a donor. This can involve organs like the kidney, liver, heart, or lungs. The goal is to restore the function of the failing organ to improve the patient's health and life quality. Successful transplantation requires matching the donor and recipient for compatibility and careful management of immune responses to prevent rejection. Advances in medicine have made transplants more successful, helping many people live longer and better lives.
