Abstract
Recipients of solid organ transplantation represent some of the most unique cohort of patients who have experienced, survived and adopted to the most extensive physical, medical and psychological traumas on the transplant waiting lists, and during and after transplantation. They accept the reality that the transplant implantation may be followed by subsequent transplant-related surgical procedures such as a series of biopsies. Perhaps it is less recognised that the transplant status and immunosuppression predispose for additional surgical need especially trauma and malignancies more often than for the general population [1–4].
