title: [Blood reinfusion during nephrectomy in patients with kidney neoplasm'].
abstract: Reinfusion of autologous blood in 22 patients with cancer of the kidney was used during nephrectomy. Intraoperative blood loss made up 1000-4000 ml (20-80% VCB). 800-3600 ml of blood was collected from the operation wound and reinfused. In spite of massive blood loss, 20 patients recovered. Lethal outcomes (2 patients) were not caused by blood reinfusion. In 19 patients of control group with renal cancer massive blood loss was compensated by preserved donor blood transfusion. It is shown that reinfusion of autologous blood promotes more stable hemodynamics during the operation, reduces the quantity of postoperative complications and lethal outcomes, provides qucker restoration of morphologic structure of the blood and results in less substantial changes in filtration of a single kidney. There were no statistically significant differences in 5-year survival rate of patients in the study (40.9%) and control (42.1%) groups, nor in the frequency of hematogenous metastasizing of cancer. Because blood reinfusion does not increase the risk of hematogenous metastases of cancer, it is not contraindicated in massive blood loss during nephrectomy in patients with renal cancer.
