Transplants refer to the medical procedure of transferring organs, tissues, or cells from one body to another. This process is often necessary when a person's organ fails or is damaged due to disease, injury, or congenital conditions. Common types of transplants include kidney, heart, liver, and lung transplants, which can significantly improve the recipient's quality of life and increase their chances of survival. The success of a transplant depends on various factors, including the compatibility between the donor and recipient, the skill of the surgical team, and the recipient's overall health. After a transplant, patients typically require lifelong medication to prevent their immune system from rejecting the new organ, ensuring its proper function and longevity.
