Is the Kidney transplantation fobidden in Islam?

Islamic scholars in the second group consider renal transplantation acceptable, basing their argument on the fact that Islam encourages adherents to help others and to save life. The Qur'an says "If anyone kills a person not in (lawful) retaliation for murder, or to spread mischief in the land, it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind" (The Holy Qur'an). In addition, they argue that renal transplants are performed out of feelings of benevolence and true love for mankind, and that God loves those who love others. "They give their brothers preferences over themselves even though they were (themselves) in need of that (which they gave). And whoever is saved from his own covetousness ... will be successful" (The Holy Qur'an). I, personally follow the second group consider renal transplantation acceptable.

When people donate a kidney the incision is usually made through the wall of the back rather than the front of the abdomen based on the fetal pig dissection why this might be preferred?

In the human anatomy, the kidneys is located posterior to the other main functional organs, beneath the small and large intestines. To avoid complications with the other organs, the incision is made through the back rather than through the front. Being situated in the back of the abdominal cavity and placed behind the peritoneum (the membrane which lines the abdominal walls), it would make sense and be easier to take the short cut rather than a detour of removing all other organs just to reach the kidneys.
If you open it from the front you'll see intestines. The Kidneys are behind the intestines.
