title: Paediatric lobar lung transplantation: addressing the paucity of donor organs.
abstract: Two children with advanced lung disease underwent successful cadaveric bilateral lobar lung transplantation, using lungs "cut down" from deceased adult donors - the first reported use of the technique in Australia. This approach, while it cannot address the lack of donor organs, may enable us to redress any size bias limiting paediatric lung transplantation.
