title: [Autologous blood and plasma replacement in displacement osteotomies of the maxillofacial region].
abstract: The concept of autologous transfusion in displacement osteotomies in oral and maxillofacial surgery is presented. Considerately and specifically applied, autotransfusion is the safest mode of blood transfusion and may replace homologous transfusion in a planned operation involving a high amount of blood loss. Although autotransfusion requires considerably more organization and man hours, costs may be saved by avoiding the wide range of complications associated with homologous transfusions. Yet, homologous transfusion, that has its justified value particularly in emergency procedures, will never be fully replaced by autotransfusion.
