Organ and tissue recovery refers to the process of surgically removing organs and tissues from a donor, typically after brain death or cardiac death, to be used in transplants for patients in need. This process is performed by specialized medical teams who ensure that the organs and tissues are recovered in a sterile, timely, and respectful manner. Recovery professionals work closely with donor families, hospitals, and transplant centers to coordinate all aspects of donation, from consent to safe transport of the recovered organs and tissues. Their work is crucial to saving and improving lives through transplantation.
