How long is the organ transplant surgery?
The average time for an organ transplant operation is around 8 hours, but this timing can vary quite significantly depending upon how "easy" the surgery is. For example, first transplants are easier to do than retransplants, single transplants are easier than multiple-organ transplants. The number of transplant surgeons available and how experienced they are will also have a bearing on surgery times. Most transplants will fall within the range of 6 - 14 hours, although it is feasible that a large multiple-organ transplant could take longer.
How long does it take to die without meds for organ transplant?
It depends how much medical help you get. If you stop taking your meds and get no medical help, it would probably be between 1-6 weeks (depending on the organ transplant). A heart transplant would probably fail quicker than all others. And six weeks is probably and overestimate. Don't try it.

What are some risks of having a transplant?
If the donors tissue doesn't match yours, your bodies immune system sees the new organ as a threat and destroys it.

Because your immune system will try to destroy the new organ, anti rejection medicines are needed to decrease your immune system's response so the new organ stays healthy.
