The Crown Princess has undergone surgery at Rikshospitalet and will be hospitalized for several weeks to come.
Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit has undergone a lung transplant at the National Hospital in Oslo. The procedure was performed by a specialist team at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, and the transplant has so far been successful.

This is a regular routine for adjusting medications, dealing with any complications and doing training,” explains Are Holm, head of the Department of Pulmonary at Rikshospitalet.
