Yes. Thousands of successful human heart transplants have been done.
In the UK I believe it's King's Hospital in London. With Birmingham QEH a close second.
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.
In 2013 there were 1,923 lung transplants performed in the U.S.
2,192 heart transplants were done in 2006
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.

Maximum number of live Kidney Transplants in India are probably done at the Nadiad Kidney Hospital (Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital). Around 100 live kidney transplants are done there each year.
Pancreas transplants are often done with a kidney transplant, this is called an SPK (Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney) transplant and generally yields higher success than when the pancreas is transplanted alone. Nationally, the one-year success rate of combined pancreas/kidney transplants is 76 percent, but only about 50 percent of the pancreases transplanted without a kidney are still functioning after one year.
Kidneys, since the risk is relatively low as the original kidneys are not removed; a new one is just added in. Thus if the new one does not work there's no real harm done - you can try again.
Organ and tissue transplants have become so common that it isn't thought of twice when one is needed. There are thousands that are done on a daily basis throughout the world.
not alot of people die due to transplants. they usually loose the part they transplaneted for example if a woman got her breasts done and it went horribly wrong then she would loose the transplant and the rest of her breast.
