| Summary: | The use of immunosuppressive medication following organ transplant has become increasingly prevalent as both numbers of transplants being performed and long-term survival increase.

This report explores some of the considerations for orthognathic surgery in this cohort, and strategies to mitigate risks associated with surgical management. |
