Lung Transplant at Affordable Cost in India

A lung transplant or pulmonary transplantation is a surgical operation in which a healthy lung of a donor partially or fully replaces the damaged lungs. This procedure is done to improve the overall health of a patient. However, lung transplant surgery has many complications along with the risk factors.

Most lungs for transplantation surgery are taken from deceased organ donors, and this kind of lung transplantation is known as a cadaveric transplant. Healthy individuals who do not use tobacco can be a good match to donate part of one of their lungs.
