Article Abstract
Lung transplantation remains the best option for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, this operation has historically carried significant potential morbidity. To improve near-term patient outcomes, attempts have been made to decrease invasiveness, but this is limited by the complex nature of the operation and the anatomy of the chest. To facilitate further reduction in incision size and augment our existing minimally invasive approach, we developed a novel technique utilizing the Da Vinci robotic system to implant a right lung in a 69-year-old recipient.

Pulmonary chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), particularly bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), is a severe complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with significant morbidity and mortality. This report, developed collaboratively by experts from the Taiwan Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (TBMT) and the Taiwan Society of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (TSPCCM), provides consensus statements for the diagnosis, surveillance and management of pulmonary cGVHD. Early detection through pulmonary function tests (PFTs) is critical, with serial monitoring recommended after allo-HSCT.

Background: The treatment of critically ill patients in intensive care units is becoming increasingly complex. For example, organ transplants are regularly carried out, the recipients are seriously ill, and the postoperative course can be complicated. This is why organ replacement and hemadsorption procedures are becoming increasingly important.
