About double lung transplant

In double lung transplant, the surgical team aims to replace severely diseased lung tissue, with or without the heart, using donor organs after transplant assessment and matching. Typical indications include advanced irreversible cardiopulmonary disease that meets transplant criteria. Final suitability and operative details are decided by a transplant surgeon after examination and review of the relevant records. Pricing shown for India is indicative; the final hospital quotation depends on the exact technique, anaesthesia, implants/consumables, and length of stay.

Why it may be recommended

Advanced irreversible cardiopulmonary disease that meets transplant criteria.

Purpose of the procedure

Replace severely diseased lung tissue, with or without the heart, using donor organs after transplant assessment and matching.

Before Surgery

Consultation

Yes — a pre-surgery review with a Transplant surgeon is needed. Bring your relevant records and use the appointment to ask why double lung transplant is being recommended, whether there are alternatives, and what could change the final plan or price.

Assessment and tests

Before double lung transplant, you may be asked to complete or provide the following: comprehensive recipient evaluation, organ-specific function testing, infection screening, tissue/blood-group compatibility testing, cardiopulmonary assessment, and donor evaluation according to transplant protocol. The exact work-up depends on your age, medical history, diagnosis, and the hospital's anaesthesia protocol.

Fasting guidance

If sedation or anaesthesia is planned for double lung transplant, follow the fasting time given by your hospital. Do not guess the cut-off time: instructions can differ for solid food, clear fluids, children, diabetes, and emergency procedures.

Medication guidance

Bring an up-to-date list of every prescription medicine, over-the-counter drug, vitamin, herbal product, and supplement you use. Before double lung transplant, do not stop blood thinners, diabetes medicines, steroids, heart medicines, or other regular treatment on your own; ask for written instructions from the treating team.

Blood preparation

For double lung transplant, you may be asked to have a blood group-and-screen or crossmatch depending on your haemoglobin level, medical history, and expected bleeding risk. Ask whether blood needs to be reserved before admission.

Implants or devices

double lung transplant may involve an implant, graft, prosthesis, stent, lens, mesh, fixation device, or other consumable depending on the exact technique. Ask for the planned device or material, whether it is included in the quoted price, and whether there are alternative options.

Preparation checklist

Prepare for double lung transplant by bringing your relevant scans, reports, medication list, allergy history, and previous operation records. Confirm your arrival time, fasting instructions, medicines to take or hold, and whether someone needs to accompany you home.

Recovery & Aftercare

Expected recovery

After double lung transplant, recovery is prolonged and closely supervised, with frequent early reviews, infection prevention, medication adjustment, and organ-function monitoring over weeks to months. Your own recovery may be faster or slower depending on the exact technique, your overall health, and whether complications occur.

Activity restrictions

After double lung transplant, follow the activity limits written on your discharge plan. Begin with gentle walking and increase activity gradually. Heavy lifting, driving, strenuous exercise, and return to manual work should wait for procedure-specific clearance If the instructions are unclear, ask before increasing lifting, driving, exercise, sport, or work.

Wound or operation-site care

Care for the operation site after double lung transplant exactly as shown at discharge. Keep the incision clean and dry as instructed, do not remove dressings or drains early, and avoid applying powders, herbs, creams, or antiseptics unless the surgical team specifically approves them Do not add creams, powders, herbs, antiseptics, or dressings unless your care team has approved them.

Follow-up

Keep your follow-up appointment even if you feel well. Your team may need to review the wound, remove sutures or drains, discuss pathology, adjust medicines, or plan rehabilitation.

Risks & When to Seek Help

Use the consultation to discuss both common and serious complications of double lung transplant, including bleeding, infection, clots, wound-healing problems, reactions to anaesthesia, and any procedure-specific risk to nearby organs or nerves.

Urgent warning signs
After double lung transplant, seek urgent medical help if you develop any of the following: seek urgent medical help for uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly worsening pain or swelling, high fever, pus or spreading redness, fainting, new shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, or a sudden decline in function.

Patient Instructions

Special instructions

For double lung transplant: Ask how recipient testing, donor testing, infection screening, matching, anti-rejection medicines, and long-term follow-up are handled before you make travel or payment arrangements.

Booking requirements

To request a booking for double lung transplant, have your transplant referral, organ-function results, imaging, infection-screening results already completed, medicine list, prior treatment records, and photo ID ready. Do not treat an online reservation as final until the hospital has reviewed your information and confirmed that the procedure, date, and price apply to you.

What the benchmark may include

The ₦11,075,000 shown for double lung transplant in India is an indicative starting price for the core surgical service, not a guaranteed final bill. Before paying, ask for an itemised quotation showing the surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre, standard hospital stay, routine medicines/consumables, and any implant or device that is included.

Possible extra costs

Ask the hospital which of these are outside the quoted amount.

Other useful instructions
