ELI5: Can a person feel pain or other sensations in a transplanted organ? And if so, how do the severed nerves connect to the rest of the body?

In general, the nervous system is not great at registering sensations from internal organs consciously. They are vague, and poorly localized as to where they are actually coming from. really the only type of organ that is commonly transplanted that you would normally get much sensation from is the intestine. That said, there is no attempt to reconnect the nerves during transplant surgery. This does not affect how the organs function.
