How dangerous are organ transplants?

They are relatively safe. (The NHS or your local health authority would not fund transplants if they were very unsafe - i.e had bad outcomes. Transplants are quite expensive, but most hospitals/health authorities consider the cost "worth it"- i.e they will fund the operation. This indicates that transplants are not 'high risk'- i.e risk does not outweigh the cost). Obviously, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks attached.
