Abstract

The world’s first successful lung transplant was performed more than 30 years ago; since then there have been significant advancements not only in the donor management and the preservation technique but also related to the surgical procedure itself. The operative mortality and early and late outcomes continue to improve. The objective of this chapter is to describe the donor management, the surgical techniques of bilateral lung transplantation as performed in the Toronto Lung Transplant Program, as well as the most important complications during the donor surgery, recipient surgery, and after the transplant.
