The journey of organ transplantation begins much earlier than expected, rooted in the ancient practice of skin grafts. As early as the 6th century BCE, techniques for tissue replacement were documented in Hindu texts, laying the groundwork for future surgical advancements. The Renaissance saw a surge in experimentation, shifting from mere observation to hands-on research, leading to the exploration of various graft types, including autografts, allografts, and xenografts.
