Transfer

Root operations are divided into different categories and each category is coded. Transfer, which is root operation X, involves the movement of a body part from its original location to another. The transferred body part then takes over some or all of the function of the area it was transferred to. During transfer procedures, the original body part is kept intact with its original vascular and nervous supply.
