Article Description

Face transplantation has been performed in 37 patients worldwide. To provide excellent outcomes, it is important to understand the medical considerations that are present in every aspect of this procedure. Pre-operative medical considerations are largely related to patient selection, intra-operative considerations are related to anesthesia, and post-operative considerations include complications and treatment of adverse effects of immunosuppression. This paper will discuss each area in more detail.
