In the authors' university medical center, there are an increasing number of transplant patients presenting for foot surgery. Newer immunosuppressive agents are largely responsible for improvement of graft and patient survival and hence more patients requiring and wanting foot surgery. Podiatric surgeons must approach these patients with caution, but not fear. Transplant patients are more susceptible to infection, have altered response to stress from surgery, and may have delayed wound healing. Preoperative assessment and planning are imperative when considering surgery for transplant patients.
在作者所在的大学医学中心，前来接受足部手术的移植患者数量日益增加。新型免疫抑制剂在很大程度上提高了移植物和患者的存活率，因此有更多患者需要并希望接受足部手术。足科医生必须谨慎对待这些患者，但无需恐惧。移植患者更容易感染，对手术应激的反应有所改变，伤口愈合可能会延迟。在考虑为移植患者进行手术时，术前评估和规划至关重要。
