What do surgeons fill up the space left by a removed organ with?

We don't. \n\nThe body usually finds stuff to fill up the space with. In the abdomen (peritoneal cavity), the guts just slither around into the space formerly occupied by, say, the spleen. The kidneys are in the retroperitoneal space and if you take one out the space just heals together. If you take out the uterus (which is pretty small anyway), the bladder has a bit more room.\n\nI work in the brain. If you take out a large chunk (e.g. for tumor, epilepsy surgery, or after traumatic injury) there is a space left. We fill it up with sterile saline at operation as best we can, though there's always a bit of air left (because of gravity and water level), but over the next day or so the body replaces it with the normal cerebrospinal fluid anyway. You can image these people later, and it's just a big fluid space there.

Medicare does cover liver and kidney transplants.\nYes, use 66 for team surgery on the Part B claim\n\nLive donor hepatectomy, “backbench” preparations and transplant surgeries are Physicians’ Services that may be submitted to the Carrier (Part B) under the transplant recipients Medicare number. These surgeries are subject to all Medicare Global Surgery rules. When these services are performed on the same date of service in adjacent rooms they should all be reported on the same claim form with a 66 modifier applied to the transplant procedure codes (47135, 47136) to ensure correct payment.

There are several different ones you can do- liver/gall bladder, kidney, blood, lymph, and colon are the ones that come to mind right away.

Embalming is essential been the same since around the American Civil War. An artery is opened in the deceased's body, and embalming fluid is pumped into it. The pressure causes blood to drain concurrently from an open vein.\nIn addition, the hollow organs and viscera have their contents removed with t tube-like instrument and some sort of suction device. A strong embalming fluid is then put into the cavities to retard decomposition.\nMost improvements have involved improved embalming chemicals. Embalmers no longer have to mix their own fluids, dyes are often included in the arterial fluids, and the most dangerous chemicals are no longer used. In additions, several items have been invented that allow exposed tissues to be dried out, which allows for fillers or waxes to be used to recreate a natural appearance on someone who may have experienced trauma. \nSeveral items have been developed in the last few decades that help create a natural shape to a person's eyes and mouth. For instance, plastic caps have been developed that help keep eyelids closed as the tissues dry out a little bit. Also, many innovations for embalming machines have developed that allow for precise pressure and rate of flow during injection. This is helpful to reduce swelling.\nFinally, techniques have been developed that allow a deceased person to be a full bone and tissue donor, and still look nice for his/her viewing. For instance, PVC pipes can be used to hold the shape of limbs instead of long bones.

that's actually a funny question I worked in organ transplant before.\n\nRN - There are several roles for nurses in organ transplant. the nurse does everything from managing the donor, allocate the organs, work with the recipients\n\nTransplant surgeon - they recover the organs and transplant\n\nHistotechnologist - the do the genetic testing to make sure the organs are a good match. They also do testing to make sure the donor doesn't have any communicable diseases\n\nCourier - they move the organs from one place to another, take lab specimens to different labs\n\nSurgical technicians - they help the surgeons recover the organs\n\nOrgan placement specialists - they place the organs for transplant, run the lists, fax charts, ets

They remove all organs except the heart. The heart is mummified and then put back into the mummy.

hopefully the ones donated will start doing their natural job in the sick person's body to restore the person to a healthy state. The 'bad' organs , such as bad kidneys are not always removed, just pushed to the side sort of. The "bad' organs which are removed will go to a pathology lab to closely identify the disease cause, some may be donated to science for research and teaching.

See a Urologist that performs that type of surgery and he will allow you to practice with an artificial "unit" and that will satisfy your curiosity.

Ask a specialist or a person whose job is to do such things.\nSorry, but I do not believe anyone here can be precise.

It's common to leave bullets and bullet fragments in the body. An experienced trauma surgeon can determine whether the bullet might become a problem, and whether it's worth trying to remove it. \n\nIf the bullet isn't going to cause any problems and removal would require extensive surgery, then it makes little sense to remove it.

Head, thorax, abdomen. If you are in med school, this might not be the best place to get the answer.
