When hospitals need to perform a tissue transplant surgery or an organ transplant surgery, they will often find the organ they need or the tissues they need at an organ bank or a tissue bank. Organ banks are repositories for human organs that are intended to be used in transplant surgeries. Tissue banks are repositories for human tissues that can be used in tissue transplant surgeries. Some organ and tissue banks keep as many kinds of organ and tissues on hand as possible. Whole other organ and tissue banks may specialize in keeping a certain organ, such as an eye bank, or a certain kind of tissue, such as a skin bank.
