As with many operations, allotransplantation risks some side effects. A limiting factor in tissue allotransplantation for reconstructive surgery deals with the side effects of immunosuppression (metabolic disorders, malignancies, opportunistic infections) which is a predominant issue. The risk of transmitting infection is high.
Allotransplantation refers to tissue transplant between individuals with different genetic makeup. [10] [11] Although the genetic composition variation in allografts is not as large as that in xenografts, the rejection rate remains high. To minimize rejection, cautious donor-recipient matching is needed.
Nerve allotransplantation (allo- means "other" in Greek) is the transplantation of a nerve to a receiver from a donor of the same species. For example, nerve tissue is transplanted from one person to another. Allotransplantation is a commonly used type of transplantation of which nerve repair is one specific aspect.
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.
Allotransplantation (homogenous), where a tooth is transferred from one individual to a different individual of the same species. [1] Nowadays, it is largely abandoned as the practice carries many risks including transmission of infection, such as syphilis , [ 2 ] and histocompatibility issues. [ 3 ]
Liver transplantation is a potential treatment for acute or chronic conditions which cause irreversible and severe ("end-stage") liver dysfunction. [4] Since the procedure carries relatively high risks, is resource-intensive, and requires major life modifications after surgery, it is reserved for dire circumstances.
Alloimmunity (sometimes called isoimmunity) is an immune response to nonself antigens from members of the same species, which are called alloantigens or isoantigens.Two major types of alloantigens are blood group antigens [1] and histocompatibility antigens.
allogeneic, referring to allotransplantation or an allograft (from other individual of same species). xenogeneic , referring to xenotransplantation or a xenograft (from other species). References
