Transplants which are (now) commonly practiced: Kidney, Liver, Heart, Lung, Pancreas, Small intestine, Corneas, Bone Marrow.
Transplants which have been performed successfully, but only on a tiny number of patients (so are still being researched):
Uterus and ovaries (this was a mother-to-daughter donation; it did result in a child being conceived and being born healthily. The child would be genetically related to the mother rather than the daughter, and the organs were removed after the daughter gave birth). Bladder - constructed from stem cells of the recipient. Stomach - has been performed, but are not common since stomach's are not necessary to survive. Trachea - normally from a donated trachea and the patient's stem cells. Faces - still experimental but so far the outcomes are good. Stem cells, for various usages, with mixed results.
Transplants which tend to fail (so most surgeons have given up experimenting with them): Limbs, hands, feet, male genitalia. Transplanting an external body part invariably results in a reduced capacity for sensation (due to scarring and nerve damage) which can result in the feeling that the graft is not the patient's own. Patients normally have difficultly adapting psychologically to a transplant which is external, which makes sense if they cannot feel the graft and it appears significantly different to their own body. Transplanted limbs/hands/feet also seem to have a high rejection rate. (Faces seem to be an exception to this, possibly since there is not a "alternative" to a face in the way that there is a mechanical alternative to a hand; anything is better than nothing. Possibly also that faces can adapt to the recipients underlying bone structure, so do not appear completely "alien" to the recipient).
i have 2 answer this question 4 my coursework so heres what i have found :
1954: 1s successfull kidney transplant from one twin to another
1966: 1st successfull pancreas transplant
1967: 1st sucessfull liver transplant
1967: Worlds 1st heart transplant
if i find more i will tell u :D
i have no legs

The first successful organ transplant occurred in 1954, when a man donated a kidney to his twin brother.

Liver and kidneys.
why were transplants between 1800 and 1950 not successful?
Transplants between 1800 and 1950 were not very successful, this is because there was not things like tissue typing and immunosuppressive drugs available, these are important because tissue typing test that the tissue is compatible with the body it will be transplanted to, and immunosuppressive drugs destroy the immune system so that the antiboddies wont destroy the new organ.
Transplant "rejection" was not understood until after 1950.
what is the develoment betwen transplant in1800and1950
Transplant rejection was not understood until the 1950s.
Liver and kidney
1954 was when "organ rejection" was finally understood (one identical twin got a transplanted kidney from his other twin and lived happily ever after, sans organ rejection). Before then transplants were not successful due to lack of immunosuppresive drugs. The first good immunosuppressant (Ciclosporin)was developed in the 1970's, but rates did improve slightly after 1954 just through enhanced medical understanding.
Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins.
They happened, but no immunosuppressants were available. So the transplants generally failed. Here's a timeline: http://www.wellcomecollection.org/whats-on/events/in-or-out/transplant-timeline.aspx
Yes, there have been hundreds of African-Americans who have become very successful veterinarians in the United States since 1950.
