Surgery on the hemophiliac patient. Special considerations.
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.
