Ocular Complications after Hand Transplantation

  • Chapter
Hand Transplantation

Abstract

To our knowledge, there are no publications regarding ocular complications following hand transplantation. The reasons are that this is a recently developed practice, cases are numerically limited and follow-up is necessarily short. However, one can presume that these complications can be considered comparable with the wider cases available for liver, kidney and heart transplant patients undergoing similar immunosuppressive therapy.
