What was unusual about the first corneal transplant?

MaggieG 5

"The first successful corneal transplant was performed as early as 1835 by a British army surgeon in India. His pet antelope had only one eye, and it had a badly scarred cornea. He removed a cornea from a newly killed antelope and transplanted it into his pet's eye. The operation was a success, and the pet was able to see." http://www.sentex.net/~ajy/facts/animals.html Mar 15 05, 6:14 PM

When was the first heart transplant performed? Who received the first successful heart transplant? Which South African surgeon performed the first human heart transplant? If Cystic Fibrosis primarily affects the lungs and digestive and reproductive systems then why do sufferers have a heart and lung transplant rather than just a lung transplant. Surely having both the heart and lungs transplanted would not only make it harder to find a match but would increase the risks and complications?
