Organ Transplantation
In order to replace a
damaged or missing organ, a recipient's body will receive an organ from the
donor body during an organ
transplantation surgery. It is possible for the donor and
recipient to be in the same place, or organs may need to be moved from the
donor site to the recipient site. Autografts
are defined as organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within the body of
the same individual. Allografts are recent transplants carried out between two
members of the same species. Allografts
can come from either cadaveric or live sources.
Successful organ transplants have been performed on the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, thymus, and uterine. Tissues include cornea, skin, heart valves, nerves, and veins (both of which are referred to as musculoskeletal grafts).
