Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Lung transplantation is now a treatment option for many patients with end-stage lung disease. Now 55 years since the first human lung transplant, this is a good time to reflect upon the history of lung transplantation, to recognize major milestones in the field, and to learn from others’ unsuccessful transplant experiences. James Hardy was instrumental in developing experimental thoracic transplantation, performing the first human lung transplant in 1963. George Magovern and Adolph Yates carried out the second human lung transplant a few days later.

This process is far more comfortable and promising if it is imbued with cross- discipline participation and basic science collaboration. Eric’s early incorporation of internist Ann Marie Schmidt’s basic science group within his Department continues to be a great example of the pro- ductivity that accrues from multidiscipline melding. Several speakers explored training in and acceptance of new techniques. The private practice community led the way in training and early adoption of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which rapidly supplanted the open operation, despite an early unacceptable inci- dence of bile duct injuries. Mini-thoracotomies arose simultaneous- ly at multiple sites and are now well accepted as viable approaches to the coronaries and interior of the heart; whereas, more than a de- cade after their introduction, video assisted lobectomies for stage I, non-small-cell lung cancer account for <10% of US lobectomies.
