Transplantation to recipient

Definitions
To move body tissue or cells from donor site to recipient site A medical or surgical process in which an organ, tissue, or cells from one individual (the donor, which may be from the patient or from another individual) are moved and implanted into a recipient individual. A medical or surgical procedure in which synthetic or biological material from a donor, whether from the same person, another individual, or an animal, is moved and implanted into a recipient. Transplanted organs typically retain their own intrinsic blood supply, requiring precise microsurgical reconnection to the recipient's blood circulation. While solid organs are almost exclusively transplanted and skin and tissues are generally grafted, the terms graft and transplant are sometimes used interchangeably depending on the context and medical specialty.
