What is Organ Transplantation
An organ transplantation center is a special health institution that plans, coordinates, evaluates and performs organ transplantations. These centers supervise organ transplantation processes by establishing appropriate connections between organ donors and recipients.
Transplantation centers often include multidisciplinary teams of specialists that include surgeons, coordinators, hematologists, nephrologists, and other healthcare professionals who specialize in this field.
Which Procedures Are Performed in the Organ Transplantation Center
Organ transplantation centers are facilities where organ transplantation operations are performed and organ donation is organized. The following procedures are performed in these facilities:
Organ Transplantation Operations: Organ transplantation centers transfer donated organs to the recipients. These operations are usually performed for organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and intestines.
Organ Donation Coordination: Organ transplantation centers coordinate organ donation processes. They manage the organization and communication processes to deliver organs received from donors to suitable recipients.
Donor and Recipient Matching: Organ transplantation centers use computer systems to match donor organs with suitable recipients. This matching process is usually based on blood type, tissue compatibility and other factors.
Patient Evaluation: Before the organs of the recipient candidates and donors are obtained, a patient evaluation is performed. This evaluation is performed to determine the general health status and suitability of both the recipient and the donor.
Postoperative Care and Monitoring: After organ transplantation operations, postoperative care and monitoring of recipients and donors is performed. This process is important to ensure that the organ is compatible and to detect any complications early.
