Abstract
The science of lung transplantation has evolved from an experimental procedure, to be accepted as a legitimate mainstream
therapy for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. Now lung transplantation offers patients with end-stage lung
disease acceptable quality of life and matches a 5-year survival rate of other solid organ transplants. In the present report,
we present our initial experience in performing two single lung transplantations done in our centre.
