Abstract
It is difficult to find lungs of appropriate size for double-lung transplantation in teenagers and small adults. Nevertheless, many young patients suffering from cystic fibrosis are waiting for lung transplantation. We have performed two bilateral lobar transplantations (left lower lobe plus right middle and lower lobe) with good recovery. Details of the technique are described.
