Don't organs have to be of a similar size, so same sex and same age?


No; there is a singer called Angelica Hale who received a kidney from
her mother at age 4.

And a liver can be cut up and a part implanted if it's cut in the right
way, taking into account the blood vessels and ducts.


The partial liver I can understand, but how did the kidney physically
fit?* Or did they install just the one, sideways?


People have a kidney transplant when both fail, and only have one
transplanted, as that's all anyone needs: if necessary it grows to a
required size.
