What is a solid organ transplant versus an organ transplant?

Solid Organ Transplant
SOT
Transplantation of a solid organ: kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, intestine (including the esophagus, stomach, small or large intestine, or any portion of the gastrointestinal tract), or vascularized composite allograft.

An organ transplant is the same thing. Not sure why they want to stick "solid" in there.

There is another type of transplant "Stem Cell Transplant" which is also commonly known as a bone marrow transplant.

I had an ACL transplant a few years ago. That doesn’t count does it?
