Organ transplantation Organ transplantation. Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ. The donor and recipient may be at the same location, or organs may be transported from a donor site to another location. Organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within the same person's body are called autografts. Transplants that are recently performed between two subjects of the same species are called allografts. Allografts c

Kidney Location The top half of each kidney is protected by the ribs, but the bottom half of each kidney is protected only by muscle and skin. In most cases the right kidney is slightly lower than the left. Perhaps this is to make room for the liver. On the left side the spleen is just above the kidney, but it is much smaller and does not force the kidney so low.

- Ideally, when permanent dialysis access is required, an arteriovenous hemodialysis fistula is created or a prosthetic arteriovenous graft is placed. Once the fistula or graft can be used reliably, the catheter is removed. (See Maturation and evaluation of the newly created hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula.) The basic aspects of dialysis access catheters and their complications will be reviewed here.

Three Artery Kidney Transplant How is a three-artery kidney transplant performed? To perform a three-artery kidney transplant, surgeons use the same technique that's employed in a renal artery bypass. The surgeon will take a piece of vein and connect it to the aorta, then re-route that vein into the kidney and bypass the blockage in the kidney. Specifically, in a three-artery kidney transplant, the surgeon will take a piece of vein -- called the saphenous vein (the same vein used for heart bypass surgery) -- and use that vein to extend the artery, making the transplant much easier.

What are my options if I have kidney failure? For patients who don’t have advance notice that they will need dialysis, a catheter is placed in a vein in the neck, chest or groin so they can receive treatment immediately. Tubes are attached to the catheter; one that lets the blood flow out of the body and a separate one to let the blood back in.
