[Single lung transplantation].
Thirteen single lung transplantations have been performed in our department for non-infected end-stage lung diseases. Two patients died after surgery; a female patient died of uterine carcinoma one year and six months after the operation. The remaining ten patients are alive; they have resumed an active life and often working. The number of single lung transplantation is rapidly growing in the world, whereas heart-lung transplantation is regressing considerably.
