Lobe : -- Lobe transplant surgery involves removal of the diseased lung and replacing it with a healthy portion of donor’s lung. Single Lung : -- Many times a single lung may need to be replaced for the patient to restore a healthy life. Usually, a deceased donor lung is used in a single lung transplant. Double Lung : -- In certain cases, both the lungs may need to be replaced due to extensive damage to the tissue, as seen in people affected with cystic fibrosis.
