Lung transplantation is a surgical procedure that helps patients with end-stage pulmonary diseases improve life expectancy and quality of life. It may involve lobe, single, or double lung transplants, depending on the extent of lung damage. The surgery carries risks such as infection and bleeding, and requires careful donor lung evaluation and possible use of a cardiopulmonary bypass.

Most common lung diseases that require lung transplantation:

4. Lobe : -- Lobe transplant surgery involves removal of the diseased lung and replacing
it with a healthy portion of donor’s lung.
Single Lung : -- Many times a single lung may need to be replaced for the patient to restore
a healthy life. Usually, a deceased donor lung is used in a single lung
transplant.
Double Lung : -- In certain cases, both the lungs may need to be replaced due to
extensive damage to the tissue, as seen in people affected with cystic
fibrosis.

5. • Lung transplantation is advised
as soon as a donor lung is
available. After the pre-surgical
preparations are done the
surgical ensures that the donor
lungs are suitable for
transplant.
• After administering general
anesthesia the surgeon will
make an incision in the chest
for accessing your lungs.
• The surgeon might need to put
you on a cardiopulmonary
bypass machine for the
duration of the surgery in order
to let the heart and breathing

6. • As with any kind of surgery the lung
transplantation surgery carries a risk
of infection and bleeding. The
transplanted lung also faces the
chances of failure to heal and function
