title: [Consideration on transfusion in urologic surgery--a retrospective study on homologous and autologous transfusions].
abstract: To obtain data for promoting autologous transfusion in urologic surgery, the cases of perioperative homologous transfusions in the past 5 years are reviewed. Although the mean perioperative homologous blood transfusion rate was not so high (10.2%), the rate in common urological surgery was comparatively high (eg. radical nephrectomy 39.4%, simple or palliative nephrectomy 21.6%, total nephroureterectomy 33.3%, renal allotransplantation 82.8%, total cystectomy 96.2%). Mean homologous transfusion volume in these surveys was 982 ml. Two successful cases of autologous blood transfusion by the predeposit method or intraoperative collecting method are presented. Transfusion-associated adverse effects, especially viral infection and immunosuppression, were discussed and the value of autotransfusion was stressed.
