Organ Transplants
Organ donation or transplantation is a life-saving medical procedure where vital organs from a person – known as a donor are placed surgically into the ailing person – the recipient. Organ donation is a noble deed that ushers a new life for those combating end-stage organ failure. Organs that can be donated include eyes, liver, heart, kidneys, pancreas, and heart.
Despite many awareness programs, organ donation is still a rarity in our society. Organ donation is of two types:
-
Living Organ Donation
-
Deceased Organ Donation
Living organ donation is a surgical procedure where an organ from a healthy person is retrieved and transplanted into the body of a patient suffering from end-stage organ failure.
Deceased Organ Donation is retrieving a healthy organ from a brain stem dead person and transplanting it into the body of a patient suffering from end-stage organ failure. In some instances, one can pledge to donate their organs, like eyes, after death.
However, retrieval of healthy organs from a brain stem dead person comes with many limitations, like matching of medical compatibility of the recipient with the donor. The transplantation should also be done within a few hours after retrieving the organs, without which the effort goes futile.
