title: First bilateral lobar lung transplant in Ireland: advanced operative strategies in lung transplantation.
abstract: Lobar lung transplantation is an option that provides the possibility of transplantation of small size recipients with size-mismatch donor lungs by surgically reducing the size of donor lungs. We report our first experience of bilateral lobar lung transplantation of big donor lungs, in a small size urgently listed recipient, after size reduction. A 24 years old girl with end stage cystic fibrosis received the bilateral lobar lung transplant. She made very good recovery postoperatively and was discharged home two weeks following surgery.
