Transplant Surgery

Transplantation surgery is one of the most challenging areas of modern medicine, wherein an organ is removed from one body and placed in a recipient’s body, to replace a damaged or missing organ. Several problems like end-stage renal disease, heart failure, congenital cardiac structural defects, cystic fibrosis and emphysema cannot be treated completely without any surgery or medication. Hence, with the advances in surgical techniques and drugs to prevent infection and rejection, organ transplantation has now been recognized as the most effective treatment for many non-curable diseases. Some of the organs that can be transplanted include kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, pancreas, small intestine. Recently, faces, tracheal (windpipe) tissue, and penises are also found to be transplantable. There are distinct parameters for the eligiblity for transplantation of organs and also the organ donors may be living, dead or brain dead.
