Abstract
As in any other transplant discipline, prevention of infection begins before the surgical intervention (the face transplantation). The most relevant issues during this phase are an adequate selection of donors and a complete workup in any recipient included in the face transplant programme. This evaluation is aimed to investigate and treat, if indicated and feasible, any infections present in recipients.
