Organ Transplant History
Steven Howard
What organs and tissues have successfully been ransplanted since 1950? 1954: First successful kidney transplant by Joseph Murray (Boston, U.S.A.) 1966: First successful pancreas transplant by Richard Lillehei and William Kelly (Minnesota, U.S.A.) 1967: First successful liver transplant by Thomas Starzl (Denver, U.S.A.) 1967: First successful heart transplant by Christiaan Barnard (Cape Town, South Africa) 1970: First successful monkey head transplant by Robert White (Cleveland, U.S.A.) 1981: First successful heart/lung transplant by Bruce Reitz (Stanford, U.S.A.) 1983: First successful lung lobe transplant by Joel Cooper (Toronto, Canada) 1986: First successful double-lung transplant (Ann Harrison) by Joel Cooper (Toronto, …show more content…
Callum Hume broke through the transplant techniques and introduced suppressants. The first ever organ was transplated in Boston, USA. It was a kidney transplant and the man survived another 8 years. 1954 was the development of …show more content…
Eventually immuno suppressive drugs were developed to stop the body rejecting and attacking the organ and so now there are very few rejections meaning there is a much higher success rate. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_the_development_of_ideas_and_techniques_since_the_1800 's_has_led_to_the_present_success_of_transplant_surgery The no. of donors is far less than the no. of people that need transplants other number of transplants. Meaning that not many people are donating organs. The no. of people receiving transplants is far less than the no. of people needing transferred but more than the no. of donors. The number of people needing transplants is far higher than the no. of donors or number of transplants.
Problems shown? The problems shown with these trends are that there are far more people that need transplants than the no. of donors meaning that there are not enough donors for people to get transplanted and get better meaning that more people would die before donors were ready to help them. Future and present development in science and technology can overcome some of these problems by forcing people to give
