tissue transplantation
Surgical material relocation
Tissue transplantation is the surgical transfer of tissue from one site to another—either within the same body or between individuals.
The term covers a range of procedures: skin grafts for burn victims, corneal transplants to restore sight, bone grafts in orthopedic surgery.
Unlike organ transplantation, tissue transplants often involve materials that can be preserved and stored in tissue banks.
