2 million
yes many transplants have already been performed
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.
In the UK, approximately 200 to 300 heart transplants are performed each year. The number can vary based on factors such as organ availability and the overall demand for transplants. Efforts to increase organ donation rates have been ongoing to help meet the needs of patients awaiting heart transplants.

something?
depends on the transplant?
Within transplantation surgery, there is nothing to be "sure" about, even when working with allograft transplants. With xenograft transplants (which are exceptionally rarely performed), risks are much higher and there are additional risks which do not occur with allograft transplants. In either case, there is no way to be "sure" of a good outcome, due to the many known and unknown random variables which affect outcomes.
