As can be seen from the chart, corneal transplants are seen more frequent among the American citizens each year. Whereas the number of intestinal transplants is the least popular. Every year, there are about 50,099 corneal transplants, which is followed by bone marrow transplants(Allogeneic and Autologous),which accounts for 21,444.

The least transplanted organs are pancreas(136) and intestine(40).

Turning to the expense incurred, heart transplant is the most expensive ($1,382,400), closely followed by double lungs transplant($1,190,700) and intestinal transplants ($1,147,300). Billed charges of other transplants expect cornea ranges between $1,347,000 and $812,500. For cornea transplant, it is $30200.
