Lung transplant refers to the process of changing an infected lung with that of a brain dead donor. Lung transplant is done by minimal invasion technique wherein the chest is opened between 4th and 5th rib on one side followed by diseased lung removal and replacing with donor lung and then same follows on the other side. Clamshell operation includes complete opening of the chest. Post operative care includes about 3 weeks of hospitalization before discharge and patients are required to follow the prescribed medications all throughout their lives.
