For the organ donor, assuming they are "brain dead", the surgical procedure would be like any other organ removal procedure. The organ is disected and clamped, keeping all pertenant arteries, veins, ducts etc intact for use later. Once the organ is removed, it is washed/bathed in a saline solution and some medications to assist presservation, packed in ice then taken to to new recipient. Once the patient is taken into the surgical suite and positioned on the table, the anesthatist will leave, its very strange to stand in a quiet OR while a person is being operated on. (there is no need for all the monitors used by anesethsia, O2sats, Heart rate etc)

Organs that is transplanted incorporate the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, gut, and epidermis. Tissues incorporate bones, tendons, cornea, heart valves, veins, and arms. international, the kidneys are the main ordinarily transplanted organs. A bone marrow transplant delivers healthy bone marrow stem cells into the affected person. It replaces bone marrow that's the two no longer working precise or has been destroyed (ablated) by potential of chemotherapy or radiation.

they generally remove the organ from the donor, and then insert it into the recipient. I'm pretty sure this procedure starts with a car accident...
