Transplantációs refers to the medical procedure of transplanting an organ or tissue from one person to another. This process involves surgically removing a healthy organ or tissue from a donor, either living or deceased, and implanting it into a recipient whose own organ or tissue is failing or damaged. The goal of transplantation is to restore function and improve the quality of life for the recipient.

The most common types of organ transplants include kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, and small intestine. Tissues that can be transplanted include corneas, skin, bone, and bone marrow. Successful transplantation relies on a careful match between the donor and recipient to minimize the risk of rejection, where the recipient's immune system attacks the foreign organ or tissue.

To prevent rejection, recipients must take immunosuppressant medications for the rest of their lives. These medications suppress the immune system, making it less likely to attack the transplanted organ. However, they also increase the recipient's susceptibility to infections and other medical complications. The demand for transplantable organs often exceeds the supply, leading to long waiting lists. Organ donation is a critical part of transplantation, with deceased donors being a primary source of organs. Living donation is also possible for certain organs, such as a kidney or a lobe of the liver. Transplant surgery is a complex and highly specialized field of medicine.
