Transplantation

/trænzplænˈteɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The surgical procedure of replacing a diseased or failed organ with a healthy organ from a donor. Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease when possible.

Etymology

From Latin 'trans-' meaning 'across' and 'plantare' meaning 'to plant,' literally meaning 'to plant across.' The term evolved from botanical usage to medical procedures as organ transplantation became possible in the 20th century.

Kelly Says

Transplantation is like getting a biological replacement part, but your immune system treats the new organ like an invader trying to attack your body! The first successful kidney transplant was between identical twins in 1954, eliminating the rejection problem, and the recipient lived another 8 years with his brother's kidney.
