There is limited experience in lung transplantation. The indications of lung transplantation in children are different when compared with adults. There are some special problems in pediatric lung transplantation such as donor shortage, size discrepancy, growth potential of transplanted lung and hemodynamic problems. Although some of these problems have been solved, only 2% of lung and heart-lung transplantation has been done in pediatric age group. Living related organ donation and lobar/segmental pulmonary transplantation may be options for donor shortage and size discrepancy and this area is the new and very promising part of pediatric lung transplantation.
