When compared to maintenance dialysis, kidney transplantation is the therapy of choice for chosen individuals with end-stage renal disease, boosting not only their longevity but also their quality of life. In 2016, 2.094 renal transplants were conducted in Germany, with expected half-lives of 14 and 22 years for deceased and living donor grafts, respectively. As a result, today’s surgeons are dealing with a rising number of renal transplant recipients who require elective or emergency surgery due to graft-related surgical issues. Renal transplant recipients undergoing graft-unrelated abdominal surgery are a special group since they are continuously immunocompromised, putting them at risk for infectious complications. Recent research demonstrates that data on postoperative mortality and morbidity in renal transplant recipients is inconsistent. After graft-unrelated surgical procedures, whether elective or emergency
