According to the approved regulation of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health dated 28.06.2004 and numbered 4690; organ and tissue transplantation from living organ and tissue can be performed from blood and in-law relatives up to the fourth degree (including the fourth degree) of the recipient. Article 17 of the Turkish Civil Code states that "The degree of blood kinship is determined by the number of births connecting the relatives". Accordingly, the degrees of kinship in blood kinship are as follows:

• 1st degree relatives: Mother, father, child.
• 2nd degree relatives: Siblings, grandparents, grandchildren.
• 3rd degree relatives: Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew (sibling child).
• 4th degree relatives: Children of persons in the third degree.

Under Law No. 2238, anyone over the age of 18 and in good mental health has the right to donate some or all of their organs. In the case of death of individuals under 18 years of age, the consent of their families is required for their organs to be donated.

• Immediate relatives: Mother, father, child

• Degree relatives: Siblings, grandparents, grandchildren

• Degree relatives Aunt, aunt, uncle, uncle, nephew, niece (sibling child)

• Relatives by degree Children of 3rd degree relatives

• Spouses and same degree relatives of the spouse

Individuals other than these relatives who wish to donate organs without financial gain and who have been approved by the ethics committees designated by the Ministry of Health may also be among the potential organ donors.

• Short waiting time: Minimizes patient attrition on the waiting list and allows the recipient to undergo surgery under optimal health conditions.
• It allows the most appropriate organ to be selected and transplanted.
• Enables surgical procedures to be performed under ideal conditions and maximize transplant success

Liver transplantation is a highly specialized surgery and everyone in the surgical team (surgeon, anesthesiologist, nurse, auxiliary staff) must be highly experienced in order to carry out this process successfully.
- In a cadaver donor liver transplant, the patient's liver is completely removed and replaced with an intact liver. This type of surgery usually takes 5-6 hours.
- In living donor liver transplantation, two separate teams start the recipient and donor surgeries simultaneously. First, the donor's liver is evaluated; if there are no obstacles to transplantation, the surgeries continue. A piece of liver from the donor is placed in place of the diseased liver removed from the recipient. Thin stents are usually placed in the bile ducts. Live donor liver transplant surgery takes 6-8 hours for the recipient and 4-5 hours for the donor.

1. Patient Assessment:
   Transplant candidates' general health status, medical history and suitability for organ transplantation are examined through detailed tests. In this process, the opinions of nephrologists, cardiologists, hepatologists and specialists from other branches are taken.

2. Donor Evaluation:
   For living donors, the general health status of the donor, organ compatibility and the recovery process after transplantation are planned in detail. For cadaveric donors, the functionality of the donated organ and its compatibility with the patient are evaluated.

3. Operation Transplant:
   Organ transplantation is performed with modern surgical techniques. Prof. Dr. Bülent Aydınlı and its experienced team ensure that patients are treated in the best possible way during and after transplantation.

4. Post-transplant Care:
   The post-transplant period is critical for patients' health. Medical treatment, nutritional planning and psychological support improve patients' quality of life.

• Those with advanced type 1 diabetes
• People with insulin dependence and complications related to this condition
• Patients who have developed renal failure due to improper treatment
• People with serious health problems due to diabetes

Blood group compatibility is very important for pancreas transplantation. In order to transplant the pancreas successfully, the blood group compatibility between the donor and the recipient is taken into account. However, in some cases, cross transplantation method can also be applied. Cross transplantation is a method that brings together couples with different blood group compatibility to find suitable donors for both patients. This method allows the organ to be transplanted to a more suitable recipient.

Organ transplantation is the process of transplanting organs that cannot function adequately despite medical treatment methods from a suitable donor to a recipient. Organ transplantation aims to improve the quality of life and health of patients. Organs and tissues transplanted are as follows:

• Liver
• Kidney
• Heart
• Lung
• Pancreas
• Heart Valve
• Small Intestine
• Cornea
• Bone
• Bone Marrow
• Tendon
