transplants

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 heart, kidneys, or liver, or tissues such as corneas or skin. Transplants help restore normal function and improve quality of life. The process includes matching the donor and recipient for compatibility, surgery to implant the new organ, and ongoing care to prevent rejection. Advances in medicine have made transplants safer and more successful, offering hope to those with organ failure or serious tissue damage.
