Canada's first successful kidney transplant between identical twins was in 1958.
Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins.

1963
the name of a graft between identical twins is called an isograft transplant, when the tissue or organ is prelevated from a donor genetically very close to the receiver, like an identical twin. Immunologically, it is closer to an autograft transplant, and some specialists even consider it an autograft transplant.

the first successful kidney transplant on identical twins without immunosuppression
Either 1963, 1948, 1982, and 1975 (it's only one of them)
The transplant development that happened in 1954 was the development of clyclosporine. This helped revelutionised the history of transplants. Actually, ciclosporin was developed in the 1970's. The 1954 development was the first successful kidney trasplant between two identical twins. (They had to be identical twins since ciclosporin had not been developed; the donor had to match perfectly).
The ideas have kept on rolling on !Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins. But after this resaerch showed that this only happened becasue the twqins had identical immune systems so they wouldn't reject the organ. They then came up with immunosuppressive . Hi Caitlin :)
Except between identical twins; there's always an immune problem, and immunosupressive drugs result in a form of AIDS And when you transplant organs you also transplant other cells (even cancer).
