Transplant (surgery) (1968)

Transplants are a type of surgery. Both tissues and organs can be transplanted. Types of transplant:

• Heart transplant
• Lung transplant
• Heart-lung transplant
• Kidney transplant
• Skin graft
• Xenotransplantation
• Autotransplantation

An organ transplant is a kind of surgery where the person being operated on will need an organ replaced, and gets a healthy one from someone else, a donor. Usually the organ is taken from someone who is recently deceased, except for organs like bone marrow or kidneys, which can be taken without harming the donor too much.
