What is Lung Transplant Surgery?

A lung transplant is a surgical procedure that involves replacing one or both diseased or damaged lungs with healthy lungs from a donor. This procedure is typically considered for patients with end-stage lung diseases who have not responded to other treatments. Common conditions that may necessitate a lung transplant include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and severe pulmonary hypertension. Lung transplants can significantly improve quality of life and increase survival rates for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, the procedure carries risks, including acute and chronic rejection of the transplanted lungs, infections, and complications from immunosuppressive therapy. Long-term follow-up care is essential for monitoring lung function, managing medications, and addressing any potential complications. With proper management and adherence to medical advice, many lung transplant recipients can enjoy improved respiratory function and a better quality of life.

How You Prepare for Lung Transplant Surgery

Lung transplantation requires rigorous pre-op evaluation and post-op care. Patients must be in constant communication with their transplant team and committed to lifelong care.

Food and Medicines

  • Follow a high-protein, high-calorie diet as recommended by your transplant team.
  • Provide your team with a complete list of all medications, supplements, and allergies.
  • Continue taking prescribed medications unless told otherwise.
  • Avoid over-the-counter drugs and supplements without your transplant team's approval.
  • Do not eat or drink anything when called for surgery.
  • Participate in pulmonary rehabilitation as prescribed.

What to Expect

During & After Surgery
  • Surgery duration is 4–8 hours; longer if both lungs are being transplanted.
  • Initial ICU stay includes use of a breathing tube, typically removed within 24–72 hours.
  • Chest drains will be placed and remain for several days.
  • Total hospital stay is usually 2–3 weeks.
  • You’ll need to take lifelong anti-rejection medications.
  • Frequent follow-ups and lab tests are required for several months post-transplant.
  • Pulmonary rehab must continue after discharge for optimal lung function.
  • You will need to monitor lung function at home using a spirometer.
  • Lifelong monitoring and ongoing care are essential for transplant success.
