The introduction of the mouse model of orthotopic single‐lung transplantation has significantly advanced research in experimental lung transplantation. Technically, this model is demanding and presents major challenges to the researcher. In order to facilitate and accelerate the successful acquisition of this technique, we provide here a narrated movie in which the full transplantation procedure is comprehensively illustrated, featuring all key operative steps, but also highlighting potential pitfalls.
