Transplantation of living tissue refers to the medical procedure in which healthy tissue is surgically moved from one part of the body to another or from one individual to another. This can involve organs, skin, bone, or other tissues, and is often performed to restore function or repair damage due to injury, disease, or congenital conditions. The procedure can be autologous (using the patient’s own tissue) or allogeneic (using tissue from a donor). Successful transplantation requires careful matching to prevent rejection by the recipient's immune system.
