Surgeons at the Mater hospital in Dublin have preformed an innovative new lung transplant procedure on a woman with Cystic Fibrosis, making it the first such operation of its kind in the country. 20 year old Leigh Bagnall received donor lungs which were reconditioned outside her body before transplant to improve the quality of the organs.
