Just a little #lung #transplant magic… that beautiful donor lung will end up being implanted through that tiny incision! Smaller incision = better recovery. #surgery #cardiothoracic @CedarsSinai @STS_CTsurgery @ISHLT

Robotic #lungtansplant can be done through an incision about 2 inches in size! Currently, the only group doing this is @CedarsSinai . #transplant @ActionPFcharity

It’s not just getting the lung in through a small incision that is challenging- the old lung also has to come out through a 6cm hole! The lung here has pulmonary fibrosis, and patient transplanted using minimally invasive #lungtranaplant with the #robot . @pacman8it @ISHLT

Your lungs are like sponges for air- they are made of many tiny air sacs called alveoli, in fact every person has around 500 million of them! #lungs #transplant #MedTwitter #MedEd

The evolution of minimally invasive #lungtransplant - The robot and a minimally invasive technique allows an incision that is only 2.5 inches in length-- That's about the length of a driver's license! @CedarsSinai @ISHLT @AATS @STS_CTsurgery @DEmersonMD @pacman8it

While recovery is always the best option, for patients that can’t recover their lungs #lungtransplant has been life saving. Well over 200 so far in the US with impressive results! (Like Amy) #MedTwitter #COVID @nih_nhlbi @ishlt @TheJHLT @UNOSNews @ELSOOrg

“Our experience treating #COVID19 has shown us that #ECMO can be used in carefully selected patients, either as a bridge to #LungTransplantation , or to allow a patient’s own lungs to heal,” says Cedars-Sinai's @JoChikweMD .

@ZaidAbdelsattar @ISHLT @CedarsSinai Retractor is taken out again as soon as the lung goes in. The entire robotic implant is done without it.

While healing of a patient’s own lungs is always better, #lungtransplant is an option in select patients with very damaged lungs from #COVID19 . Outcomes with these patients are encouraging, as shown in this article. @CedarsSinai @ISHLT
