Description

Homologous transplantation refers to the process of transplanting organs or tissues from a donor to a recipient of the same species. This type of transplantation is often used in cases where the recipient's own organs are failing or damaged.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'trasplante alógeno' is the standard term used in clinical settings. Common variants that may be heard include 'trasplante de donante' (donor transplant) or 'trasplante de órganos' (organ transplant), but these should be avoided in formal contexts to maintain accuracy.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient is scheduled for homologous transplantation to replace the damaged kidney.

ES: El paciente está programado para un trasplante alógeno para reemplazar el riñón dañado.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'trasplante alógeno' with 'trasplante autólogo'; misinterpreting the context of organ donation; mixing up with terms related to xenotransplantation.
