Harvesting bone marrow

A bone marrow harvest in progress.

A surgeon performs a bone marrow harvest operation on a doner. The procedure consists of inserting a large-gauge syringe into an area of the hip and extracting the bone marrow. It will be transfused into a recipient to help recreate and replenish T-cells and the white and red blood cells killed when this recipient underwent chemotherapy.
