What is the success rate of lung transplantation

summary

My father is older, his health has not been very good, and he loves smoking very much, so his lung is basically gone, accompanied by bronchiectasis. He went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that he would have a lung transplant operation, and the operation is still very successful. Now let's talk about the success rate of lung transplantation.

What is the success rate of lung transplantation

First, the one-year survival rate of lung transplantation is 80-90%, and the five-year survival rate is about 40-50%. Tissue matching, donor lung quality and recipient condition are the main factors affecting long-term survival. Even if the transplantation, cancer cells still exist in the blood and lymph, and lung cancer in advanced stage, the significance of surgery is not great, in good health, chemotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine can be possible.

Second: at present, lung transplantation is not widely carried out in China. There are a few hospitals to carry out this kind of operation, but the effect is not ideal. The operation is complicated. Generally try not to do lung transplantation. Try to keep the original lung is reliable. If the lung has completely lost its function, the success rate of lung transplantation is generally not high, and the postoperative effect is not ideal.

Third, there is still a big gap between lung transplantation and kidney transplantation, liver transplantation and heart transplantation. The total number of cases is still small. The success rate of operation is about 60% - 80%. There is no exact data on survival rate. The technology of lung transplantation is relatively complex, which requires all aspects of technical strength, comprehensive strength, and active treatment after operation. Moreover, the cost is high, so the indications should be strictly grasped.

matters needing attention

The lung is a very important part of the human body, if there is a disease to carry out lung transplantation, it is necessary for patients to have a physical examination, meet the conditions to do, postoperative monitoring and treatment is more complex, especially the postoperative anti infection and anti rejection treatment is very difficult.
