An overview to Lung Transplant with brief discussion about procedure - a podcast by Doctor Bug

A lung transplant is an operation to remove and replace a diseased lung with a healthy human lung from a donor.

A donor is usually a person who's died, but in rare cases a section of lung can be taken from a living donor.

Lung transplants are not carried out frequently in the UK. This is mainly because of the lack of available donors.

In 2017-18, 214 lung transplants were carried out in England.
