transplantations
Surgical tissue relocations
Transplantations are acts of transplanting—moving something from one place to another.
The word appears most often in medical contexts, where organ transplantations involve surgically transferring tissue from one body to another: kidney transplantations, heart transplantations.
In botany, it refers to relocating plants.
Figuratively, transplantations can describe moving people, ideas, or institutions to new environments: the transplantations of European legal systems to colonial territories.
