[Organ graft: indications and principle results in France]

Nearly 3,000 solid organ transplantations are performed each year in France. Transplantation constitutes a major and complex treatment procedure which mostly concerns patients with terminal organ failure. The selection of patients to transplant, amongst those with potential indications for transplantation, contributes to improve the whole results of transplantation. The evaluation of transplantation deals with transplants and patients survival as well as quality of life after transplantation which may be assessed by organ function improvement, professional activity restoration or pregnancy eventuality in transplanted women.
