transplantacij

Transplantacija is a medical procedure in which a diseased or damaged organ or tissue is replaced by a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is a life-saving option for individuals with end-stage organ failure, such as kidney, liver, heart, or lung disease. The donor organ can come from a deceased individual or a living donor, depending on the organ and the recipient's medical condition.

The process involves extensive evaluation of both the donor and recipient to ensure compatibility and reduce the risk of rejection. After the transplant, recipients must take immunosuppressant medications for the rest of their lives to prevent their immune system from attacking the new organ. Despite the risks and the lifelong commitment to medication, transplantation offers a significant improvement in quality of life and survival rates for many patients. Ongoing research continues to refine surgical techniques and improve post-transplant care, making transplantation an increasingly successful medical intervention.
