Transplantation

Transplantation is a medical procedure where a healthy organ or tissue from one person (the donor) is transferred to replace or repair a damaged or diseased organ in another person (the recipient). This process helps restore normal function and improve quality of life. Because the immune system may recognize the new organ as foreign, donors and recipients are carefully matched, and patients often take medications to prevent rejection. Transplantation can involve organs like the kidney, liver, heart, or lungs, and it requires meticulous surgical and medical management to ensure success.
