Lung transplantation is an important treatment option when chronic respiratory failure develops in patients with progressive lung diseases that cannot be treated with medication or in which maximum medical treatment is insufficient. The biggest disadvantage of lung transplantation compared to other transplants is that the lung has the highest rejection rate compared to other organs and the donor is the least found organ. From the harvesting of the lung to the recipient, it may take 8-10 hours on average to complete the transplantation.
What is Organ Transplant?
Organ transplantation is the operation in which an organ is removed from the donor body and then placed in a recipient body to replace a damaged or missing organ. The organs or tissues to be transplanted can be taken from living bodies or cadavers. Transplantation medicine is one of the most challenging and complex areas of modern medicine. The organs that can be successfully transplanted today include the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, thymus and uterus. The key to organ transplant are rejection problems such as the body's immune response to the transplanted organ, resulting in possible transplant failure and the need to remove the organ immediately from the recipient.
