How are organs and tissues taken?
Transplant surgeons and other medical professionals remove organs, tissues and corneas with technical skill and the utmost respect. This is done most often in a sterile hospital operating room. If multiple organs are donated, there are separate teams of physicians with appropriate specialty areas. Organ procurement organization representatives who understand families sad, overwhelming emotions keep the family informed throughout the donation process so they can be comforted that something positive came from the tragedy.
