INTRODUCTION

Why is living donor lobar lung transplantation necessary?

Over the past decade there has been a marked increase in the life span of people with CF due to improved paediatrics, special centre care, new methods of physiotherapy, improved nutrition and new antibiotics regimes. The average survival now exceeds 32 years. However, even with the best care available many young adults will still experience a decline in lung function until they are in end-stage respiratory failure. For these patients and their families, lung transplantation has brought hope.

The first successful cadaveric transplants for CF were performed in the UK in 1985. The medical management of CF patients before and after transplantation is complex, but these problems have largely been overcome and outcomes of transplantation for CF are as good as for any other patient group. The problem is a lack of suitable donor organs. Many CF patients are small, which can make matching recipients with potential donors difficult.

The usual sources of organs for transplantation are donated organs from cadavers.

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ

Γιατί χρειάζεται η μεταμόσχευση λοβού πνεύμονα από ζωντανό δότη;

Κατά την τελευταία δεκαετία έχει σημειωθεί σημαντική αύξηση στο προσδόκιμο επιβίωσης των ατόμων που πάσχουν από κυστική ίνωση (Κ.Ι), λόγω της βελτίωσης στην παιδιατρική, την περίθαλψη σε ειδικά κέντρα, τις νέες μεθόδους φυσιοθεραπείας, τη βελτίωση στη διατροφή και τα νέα αντιβιοτικά σχήματα. Η μέση επιβίωση ξεπερνάει τώρα τα 32 χρόνια. Πάντως, ακόμα και με την καλύτερη διαθέσιμη περίθαλψη, πολλοί νέοι ενήλικες θα έχουν έκπτωση της πνευμονικής τους λειτουργίας μέχρι την τελικού σταδίου αναπνευστική ανεπάρκεια. Η μεταμόσχευση πνεύμονα έφερε ελπίδα σε αυτούς τους ασθενείς και τις οικογένειές τους.

Οι πρώτες επιτυχημένες πτωματικές μεταμοσχεύσεις σε Κ.Ι. πραγματοποιήθηκαν στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο το 1985. Η ιατρική αντιμετώπιση των ασθενών με Κ.Ι. πριν και μετά τη μεταμόσχευση είναι σύνθετη, αλλά αυτά τα προβλήματα έχουν ξεπεραστεί σε μεγάλο βαθμό και τα αποτελέσματα στους ασθενείς με Κ.Ι. ειναι εξίσου καλά, όπως και για κάθε άλλη ομάδα ασθενών Το πρόβλημα είναι η έλλειψη κατάλληλων δοτών οργάνων. Πολλοί ασθενείς με Κ.Ι. είναι μικρόσωμοι, κάτι που μπορεί να κάνει δύσκολη την αντιστοίχιση των δεκτών με δυνητικούς δότες.

Η συνήθης πηγή οργάνων για μεταμόσχευση είναι όργανα που λαμβάνονται από μεταθανάτιο (πτωματικό) δότη.

About me

"Let me propose a life path: grandparents of different nationalities, a good school education in which you learn to read, write, spell, construe and love your own language. Then roam the world, make friends, see life. Go back to education, but to take a technical or commercial degree, not a language degree. Spend the rest of your twenties and your early thirties in the countries whose languages you speak, working in industry or commerce but not directly in languages...Have your children. Then back to a postgraduate translation course. A staff job as a translator, and then go freelance. By which you are forty and ready to begin."
