Donation surgery: Great question! organs can be donated by living donation (kidneys, liver, lung most commonly) or at the time of a tragic death (severe unrecoverable neurological injury). The latter is coordinated by a team of specialists focused on the family and their needs as well as the organ transplant teams. The live donors will have very specific techniques to safely recover their organs avoiding donor risk.
