ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION IN TURKEY

Le 02/09/2022

Aram is not in charge of finding organ donors.
The person carrying out the transplant is responsible for finding a compatible donor, who must be a close relative.
The consent of this relative to organ donation must be given within the framework of a legal agreement duly presented to the clinic’s medical teams.

Between 2018 and 2020, the main types of organ transplants performed in Turkey were kidney transplant, liver transplant, heart transplant and lung transplant.

Turkey is in the top 5 medical centers of excellence for organ transplantation.This positioning is related to several positive elements:
– A long experience in transplantation and grafting operations (more than 40 years)
– Excellent surgeons (professors and practitioners) trained abroad or in the major medical faculties of Istanbul, Ankara …)
– High level hospital structures with a systematic JCI accreditation

Graft or transplant

Let us clarify for the reader interested in an organ transplant in Turkey, the difference between a graft and a transplantation.
Transplantation allows the replacement of a diseased organ by a healthy organ from a donor. Implantation requires to put the organ in relation with its anatomical environment through the vessels.
Scientifically, we should therefore reserve the term transplantation for organs such as kidneys, lungs, heart or liver.
And therefore the notion of transplantation should be reserved for operations that do not involve vascular connections, such as corneal transplants.
For the sake of simplicity and clarity for the general public, we will use one or the other term.
