Heart and Lung Transplant Surgery

Heart and lung transplant surgery is a procedure performed when a person's heart or lungs are not functioning properly and cannot be repaired. During this surgery, the damaged heart or lungs are removed and replaced with healthy ones from a deceased donor. This complex operation is carried out by specialized surgeons called cardiothoracic surgeons, who work on organs in the chest. Post-surgery, patients require careful monitoring and medication to prevent rejection of the new organs and to support their recovery, aiming to improve their quality of life significantly.
