  2. A lung transplantation procedure is a surgery which is useful in helping patients with endstage pulmonary diseases extend their life expectancy as well as improve their quality of life.

  3. Most common lung diseases that require lung transplantation: • Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension • Cystic fibrosis • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis • Emphysema • Chronic bronchitis

  4. Types of Lung Transplantation 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. Procedure of Lung Transplantation • 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 work efficiently.

  6. Risks Associated with Lung Transplantation • 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 normally.
