Lung transplantation or pulmonary transplantation is a surgical procedure in which a patient’s diseased lungs are partially or totally replaced by lungs which come from a donor. While lung transplants carry certain associated risks they can also extend life expectancy and enhance the quality of life for end-stage pulmonary patients.
