Is it easier to do a lung transplant than a liver transplant?

Generally, liver transplants are considered more complex than lung transplants due to the liver's vital functions, the risks of complications, and the need for careful management of liver function post-surgery. While lung transplants also carry significant risks, the surgical procedure itself is often more standardized. Additionally, organ availability and patient eligibility criteria differ, affecting the overall complexity of each transplant type.
