As of October 2023, there have been over 1 million liver transplants performed worldwide since the procedure was first developed in the 1960s. The number of successful liver transplants continues to grow each year, with advancements in surgical techniques, immunosuppression, and donor matching. In the United States alone, thousands of liver transplants are conducted annually, primarily for conditions like cirrhosis and liver cancer. For the most current statistics, it's best to consult specific health organizations or transplant registries.
It is obvious we as people cannot live with out a liver , they had done transplants and some have succedd. On the other hand many have failed. As for the lungs, lungs can rejuvenite as there are 5 lobes. the best remendy would be to take care of our bodies
Animal to animal transplants only ever occur for research purposes, not life-extension of family pets. However when researching for human transplants, many animal transplants have to be done.

Routinely transplanted organs are: heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, small intestine and cornea. Other transplants are available, but are not routine. Some organs are just not routinely transplanted because you can live without them, e.g stomach, bladder, spleen, colon etc... (Yes, you can live without your stomach, it's only the small intestine which is necessary for food absorption.)
Yes, if someone in the family is the same blood group (really crucial), is the same size or bigger than the patient, healthy, willing and over 18 years old. They have to go through many hospital assesments to establish suitablity. Also, transplants with livers that are "related" genetically to the recipient work best if the recipient does not have an auto-immune liver disease. (If the recipient does have an autoimmune liver disease, genetically related livers are best avoided).
