Routinely transplanted organs are: heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, small intestine and cornea. Other transplants are available, but are not routine.

Which organs of the body can't be transplanted?

Just to clarify your question, if the organ cannot be transplanted there is no "recipient", since nobody receives the organ. The brain is not transplantable in humans. It has been performed in labs on animals, with mixed outcomes. However in humans it is unclear whether there are any medical conditions which would actually benefit from a 'brain transplant', let alone other ethical questions of performing such a procedure. The large intestine is not commonly transplanted because it is not necessary to sustain life (however it is medically possible). Likewise, the stomach, gall-bladder and appendix are not necessary for survival.


What does Qui translulit sustinet mean?

He who transplanted still sustains


Can the brain be transplanted?

no
