transplantation
Surgical tissue relocation
Transplantation is the act of moving something from one place to another and establishing it there.
Plants are transplanted from pots to garden beds.
In medicine, transplantation refers to surgically transferring organs or tissue from one body to another: kidney transplantation, heart transplantation.
The term also applies to moving populations: the transplantation of refugees to new settlements.
