I am planned for a surgery. Should I inform my transplant doctor?

Updated by SGH-TRANSPLANTPEDIA
You should inform your transplant coordinator or physician if you are planning to undergo any surgery. Special consideration for mTOR inhibitors (e.g. Everolimus, Sirolimus): - These medications may delay wound healing - Your transplant team may need to temporarily switch to an alternative medication until your wound has adequately healed
