Complications Following Plastic Surgery in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Descriptive Cohort Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: In 2012, over 28,000 organ transplants were performed in the United States. Long-term survival of solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) has increased dramatically due to advancements in surgical technology and immunosuppressive therapies. As a result, the number of SOTRs seeking plastic and reconstructive surgery is increasing. However, the safety of plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures in SOTRs, a concerning clinical population for postoperative complications due to immunosuppression, is not well characterized.
