Background
Many efforts were made to determine the uncommon clinical complications after lung transplantation and treatment options to tackle them; however, many of these rare complications have not been mentioned in recent publications. Evaluating and recording adverse effects after organ transplantation can significantly prevent post-transplant mortality. This study aimed to examine rejection factors by examining individuals undergoing lung transplantation surgery.Materials and Methods
In a prospective longitudinal study, we followed up on complications of 60 lung recipients post lung-transplantation surgery for six years from 2010 to 2018. All complications were recorded in follow-up visits or hospital admissions during these years. Finally, the patients' information was categorized and evaluated by designing a questionnaire.Results
From a total of 60 transplant recipients, from 2010 to 2018, 58 patients were initially enrolled in our study, but two were lost to follow-up. Uncommon complications witnessed in the post-transplantation period included endogenous endophthalmitis, herpetic keratitis, duodenal strongyloidiasis, intestinal cryptosporidiosis, myocardial infarction, diaphragm dysfunction, Chylothorax, thyroid nodule, and necrotizing pancreatitis.Conclusion
Meticulous postoperative surveillance is crucial for managing lung transplant patients for early detection and treatment of common and uncommon complications. Therefore, it is necessary to establish procedures for assessing the patients' constancy until complete recovery.Keywords:
