#autograft

• Autologous keratoplasty — An ophthalmologic surgical procedure of corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) in which the tissue graft utilized originates from the same patient, completely eliminating the risk of immunological graft rejection.
• Autograft — A tissue graft or organ harvested from one part of an individual's body and transplanted to another site on the exact same organism, a procedure also known as autotransplantation; an autologous graft. This surgical technique completely eliminates the risk of immunological rejection, as the biological material originates from the recipient patient.
• Autoplast — 1. A vegetal cellular organelle (chloroplast) capable of photosynthesis and autonomous self-replication, containing its own structural genetic material (chloroplastic DNA). 2. A fragment of organic tissue harvested from an individual and used as a graft within the same being (autograft), guaranteeing absolute immunological compatibility and eliminating tissue rejection risks.
• Autoplasty — A surgical procedure involving the repair, reconstruction, or replacement of a damaged tissue or organ, performed by transplanting a biological fragment (skin, bone, muscle, or vascular graft) harvested from another area of the same patient's body. This structural process guarantees perfect immunological compatibility and eliminates the risk of graft rejection, being widely utilized in severe burn treatments and restorative plastic surgery.
• Autotransplantation — A surgical or medical procedure consisting of transplanting a tissue, organ, or cellular assembly (such as bone marrow, stem cells, or skin and bone fragments) harvested from an individual and grafted into another anatomical area of the same organism. This structural phenomenon completely eliminates the risk of immunological rejection and the need for immunosuppressive drugs, ensuring optimal biological integration.
