Kidney and Liver. It's not that they're the most common operations, it's that the risk of death is lower. Heart transplants happen more than you'd think, but if it goes wrong you usually die. Whereas if a kidney transplant goes wrong, you can go back to dialysis until you try again. And you can also survive a few days with a failed liver, which gives you time to find another transplant. However you cannot survive a few days with a heart that doesn't work.

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.

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.

Can patients with ESRD caused by Diabetes Mellitus receive transplants?
It depends on the organ that is being transplanted. If it's the kidney, which probably accounts for most organ transplants among diabetic patients in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), then diabetic patients are eligible. But in transplants of other organs, such as bone marrow, diabetic patients are required to have tight control of their blood glucose levels in order to be eligible for transplant.
