Beültetik

Beültetik is a Hungarian verb form meaning to be implanted or to have something implanted by someone, typically a medical professional. The infinitive is beültetni, and the noun for the act is beültetés (implantation). The prefix be- and the stem ültet (to plant) convey insertion into the body. The form beültetik is used to describe that an implant is performed on a patient, often in the passive voice.

In medical practice, beültetés refers to the surgical insertion of an artificial device or tissue into the body. It covers a range of procedures where an implant is placed to restore function, replace damaged structures, or improve health. The act can involve devices, such as a prosthesis, or biological material adapted for implantation.

Common applications include cardiac devices like pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), cochlear implants for hearing, dental implants, and orthopedic implants such as screws, plates, or artificial joints. Other examples include intraocular lenses after cataract surgery and various tissue or organ implants used in reconstructive medicine.

The process typically includes clinical evaluation, informed consent, the surgical implantation, and postoperative follow-up to monitor device function and patient adaptation. Decisions about beültetés depend on medical indication, patient health, and weighing benefits against risks. Risks may include surgical complications (infection, bleeding), device-related issues (malfunction or loosening), and the need for ongoing maintenance or additional procedures. When successful, beültetés can restore or significantly improve function and quality of life.
