It is permissible to perform this procedure if trustworthy doctors determine that it is guaranteed and proven, as long as the expected benefit outweighs the harm. This aligns with the resolution of the Fiqh Academy, which permits transferring an organ from one place to another in the body to correct a defect or remove a deformity that causes psychological or physical harm, provided that the preponderance of benefit is confirmed.
