Autotransplantation or autologous transplantation is the surgical transplantation of organs, tissues or even particular proteins from one site in an individual's body to another site within the same person (auto- meaning "self" in Greek). The autologous tissue (also called autogenous, autogeneic, or autogenic tissue) transplanted by such a procedure is called an autograft or autotransplant.
