title: [Blood transfusion in surgical gynecology. Strategies for preventing homologous blood transfusion].
abstract: A statistical evaluation of homologous blood transfusions is imperative in any gynecological surgical department, to be able to define the transfusion-associated risk of the individual interventions. On the basis of our own statistical data and reports in the literature, strategies for limiting the use of homologous blood are discussed. So far, experience with autologous blood transfusion in surgical gynecology is limited, and clinical studies are needed to better define its role. In special cases, the use of erythropoietin and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues extends the possibilities for reducing homologous blood transfusion.
