Organ & Tissue Donation

Beyond the Basics:
Other Transplantable Organs

Organ donation goes far beyond the major organs people commonly hear about. Several other organs and tissues can help restore essential body functions, improve quality of life, and give patients a second chance.

Vital Organ Realistic medical illustration of a human kidney

Kidney

Kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood while helping regulate important body functions. Kidney transplantation is one of the most common forms of organ transplantation.

Transplant Function

Restores kidney function and helps remove waste and excess fluid from the body.

Metabolic Organ Realistic medical illustration of the human pancreas

Pancreas

The pancreas produces insulin and digestive enzymes. In selected patients, a pancreas transplant can restore insulin production and improve blood-sugar regulation.

Transplant Function

Restores insulin-producing function in suitable transplant recipients.

Digestive Organ Realistic medical illustration of the human intestine

Intestine

Severe intestinal failure can prevent the body from absorbing enough nutrients and fluids. In carefully selected cases, intestinal transplantation can restore digestive function.

Transplant Function

Helps restore the absorption of nutrients, fluids, and electrolytes.

Eye Tissue Realistic medical illustration of the human cornea

Cornea

The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye. Donated corneal tissue can help restore vision when the cornea has been damaged or become severely diseased.

Transplant Function

Replaces damaged corneal tissue and can restore useful vision.

Tissue Graft Realistic medical illustration of human skin tissue

Skin

Donated skin can be critically important for people with severe burns and other major wounds. Skin allografts can temporarily protect damaged areas while the patient's own skin heals.

Transplant Function

Protects serious wounds and helps reduce fluid loss and infection risk during healing.

Vascular Tissue Realistic medical illustration of human blood vessels

Blood Vessels

Donated blood vessels can be used in reconstructive and vascular procedures where a patient's own vessels are damaged, diseased, or unavailable.

Transplant Function

Provides healthy vascular tissue to help restore blood circulation.

Connective Tissue Realistic medical illustration of human tendons and ligaments

Tendons & Ligaments

Donated tendons and ligaments can be used to reconstruct damaged joints and restore stability following serious injuries or surgical procedures.

Transplant Function

Helps restore joint stability, movement, and structural support.

Reproductive Organ Realistic medical illustration of the human uterus

Uterus

Uterus transplantation is a specialized procedure that may provide an option for some women with uterine-factor infertility. It is performed only at specialized transplant centers.

Transplant Function

Provides a functioning uterus for selected recipients seeking the possibility of pregnancy.

Airway Tissue Realistic medical illustration of the human trachea

Trachea

Tracheal reconstruction and transplantation are highly specialized procedures. They may be considered in exceptional cases involving severe airway damage or disease.

Transplant Function

Helps reconstruct a severely damaged airway and maintain a passage for breathing.

Not every transplant is performed routinely

The availability of transplantation varies by organ or tissue, medical condition, donor suitability, and the transplant center. Some procedures are well established, while others are rare or available only at specialized centers.

One Donor. Multiple Lives.

Organ and tissue donation can give people the opportunity to recover essential functions, regain independence, and experience a better quality of life.
