It depends on the body part. Many people who have problems with a valve in their heart have surgery to replace that valve with one from a pig. However whole organs are not usually replaced by one from another animal, there are issues with proteins and antigens.

Why do animal cels need a lysosome?

They're chambers which contain digestive enzymes, mostly important because their membrane is not digested by those enzymes. If the lysosome were to rupture, those enzymes would digest parts of the cell that need to stay intact. They take those enzymes to particles the cell has "eaten" to digest it and they also digest parts of the cell to recycle.
