Wikipedia
autologous
Autotransplantation is the transplantation of organs, tissues, or even particular proteins from one part of the body to another in the same person (auto- meaning "self" in Greek). The autologous tissue (also called autogenous, autogeneic, or autogenic tissue) transplanted by such a procedure is called an autograft or autotransplant.It is contrasted with allotransplantation (from other individual of the same species), syngeneic transplantation (grafts transplanted between two genetically identical individuals of the same species) and xenotransplantation (from other species). A common example is the removal of a piece of bone (usually from the hip) and its being ground into a paste for the reconstruction of another portion of bone. Autotransplantation, although most common with blood, bone, or skin, can be used for a wide variety of organs. One of the rare examples is autotransplantation of a kidney from one side of the body to the other. Kidney autotransplantation is used as a treatment for nutcracker syndrome.

autologous
Autologous refers to the practice, process, or procedure of using substances (cells, tissues, organs) derived or obtained from the same individual's body. The purpose of this is typically for transplantation, grafting, or any form of biological therapeutic treatment. The primary benefit of autologous practices is they minimize the risk of adverse reactions or rejection as the individual's immune system recognizes the substances as 'self'.
