Transplantation-Root Operation Y​

Transplantation is defined as putting in or on all or a portion of a living body part taken from another individual or animal to physically take the place or function of all or a portion of a similar body part. During the transplantation procedure, the native body part may or may not be removed.

The transplantation root operation represents a small number of procedures and includes only the body parts currently being transplanted. The qualifier, the seventh character of the code, captures the genetic compatibility of the body part transplanted.

Examples include kidney, heart, and liver transplants.
