Surgery in hemophilic patients
M Post and MC Telfer
Surgery in hemophilic patients was performed under proper
factor-replacement therapy, and a wide variety of orthopaedic procedures
(twenty-six in seventeen patients) were done with good results. There were
no complications in any of the patients since the advent of concentrates in
1966. Multiple procedures under one anesthetic are recommended because the
complications associated with repeated administration of blood substitutes
are minimized.
