title: Surgery on the hemophiliac patient. Special considerations.
abstract: Optimum care of patients with hemophilia requires cooperation among the hematologist, the surgeon, nurses, and blood bank personnel. Relatively normal hemostasis can be achieved and maintained in factor-deficient individuals in the perioperative period. Surgical procedures in patients with hemophilia can be accomplished safely with careful monitoring of coagulation factor levels and appropriate replacement therapy.
