Severance Hospital will hold a health course for lung transplant patients "Relaxed Breathing Long" at 1 p.m. on the 6th floor of the main building at Eunmyeong Grand Auditorium.

Lung transplantation is a treatment option for patients who have difficulty in treatment through drugs or surgery. In Korea, Severance Hospital performed lung transplantation for the first time in 1996.

Patients who have undergone lung transplantation have a lot of things to pay special attention to for health care, such as daily life habits such as diet and exercise, including vaccination after surgery. This lecture was organized to solve the questions of patients who are managing their health not only immediately after surgery but also in the long term.




The first part of the lecture, which begins with the opening speech of Professor Park Moo-seok of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Severance Hospital, is in the order of ▲ chronic diseases experienced by lung transplant patients (Professor Uara of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Severance Hospital) ▲ Infection control after lung transplant: Vaccination (Professor Jeong Soo-jin of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Severance Hospital) ▲ Health examination of lung transplant patients: Cancer screening (Professor Park Ji-soo of the Cancer Prevention Center at Yonsei Cancer Hospital).

The second part of the lecture will be followed by ▲ Understanding Rejection (Professor Kim Song-yi of Respiratory Medicine at Severance Hospital), ▲ Understanding Re-Eating (Professor Kim Ha-eun of Thoracic Surgery at Severance Hospital), ▲ Attention to Lung Transplant Patients' Daily Life (Choi Ji-yeon, Coordinator of the Organ Transplant Center at Severance Hospital), and at the end, a question-and-answer session is prepared.

Anyone interested in the lecture can attend for free, and inquiries can be made to the organ transplant center at Severance Hospital.




Meanwhile, Severance Hospital achieved 500 cases of single-center lung transplantation for the first time in Korea in 2023. As of the 1st of this month, 583 cases have been implemented and are playing a leading role in the field of lung transplantation.
