What is Lung transplant?
A '''lung transplant''' is a type of [[surgery]]. People who can not breathe without additional [[oxygen]] may need a lung transplant. In this surgery, the patient's ill [[lung]] or lungs are removed. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Lung Transplant Surgery, Survival, Organ Rejection, and More|url=https://www.webmd.com/lung/lung-transplant-surgery|access-date=2020-08-24|website=WebMD|language=en}}</ref> A healthy lung or lungs are put into the patient. The healthy lungs may come from a dead or from a living person. When the person who gives, or donates, the healthy lung is still alive, only one lung is removed. Sometimes a healthy person can give just part of a lung to a sick person. A healthy person can normally give a lung or part of a lung without becoming sick. == References == {{Reflist}}{{med-stub}} [[Category:Pulmonology]] [[Category:Surgery]] [[Category:Transplants]]
