Surgical incision on a transplant patient The patient on antirejection medications (Prednisone and Cellcept) after liver transplant. Note the poor epithelial bridging of the approximated edges and the opening at the right side of the incision, indicati ng poor healing of the subcutaneous tissue with tunneling under the incision. The wound may require surgical I&D and negative pressure therapy to promote healing and prevent infection.
