Graft

Transplantation of organs and tissues is one of the most effective methods of treating many diseases, such as kidney failure, heart failure, diabetes, as well as burns, injuries and other damage to the skin and tissues.

A graft is any organ, tissue or body part that is used to replace a damaged area of ​​the body.

For example, a skin graft is a flap of skin that is cut from a healthy area of ​​skin and used to cover damaged skin.

A healthy kidney that is taken from a donor and transplanted into a recipient is called a kidney transplant.

Corneal grafts are also taken from recently deceased people to restore the recipient's cornea.

Artificial tubes and valves are used to replace damaged peripheral arteries and heart valves.

In general, organ and tissue transplantation is an effective method of treating many diseases and injuries, which can save lives and improve the quality of life of patients.

Transplantation is the replacement of damaged or diseased organs, tissues or parts of the human body with artificial (for example, a prosthesis) or other (healthy) parts. The removed materials are returned to the body of the donor or recipient.

Transplant is a material obtained as a result of transplantation, for example, a kidney transplant, a cardiovascular transplant, a lymphatic transplant.

Vascular grafts have been used successfully to treat conditions such as aneurysm after blood clot removal, and interventions to improve microcirculation, heart failure, and limb disease are also common. They play a role in the treatment of chronic kidney disease, that is, when the kidneys become too damaged to be used. There has also been some research into the use of patient tissue in medicine. This includes using tissue from suffering patients to make implants, e.g. artificial materials
