The word 'Transplantation' (transplantation) belongs to the technical language of medicine and botany. It is mainly used in formal or scientific contexts.

In the medical field, the word is often combined with certain verbs: 'eine Transplantation durchführen' (to perform a transplant), 'eine Transplantation erhalten' (to receive a transplant), or 'eine Transplantation benötigen' (to need a transplant).

donation
'die Spende' and 'die Transplantation' can both be connected with organs. 'Spende' means that someone voluntarily makes an organ or tissue available. 'Transplantation' means the operation in which an organ, tissue, or cells are placed into a body. The words can be confused because an organ donation often comes before a transplantation. So the donation is the giving; the transplantation is the medical procedure.
Nach der Transplantation musste der Patient mehrere Wochen im Krankenhaus bleiben.
After the transplantation, the patient had to stay in the hospital for several weeks.
