Description
Summary:Our purpose was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative autologous blood transfusion during laparoscopic surgery for hemoperitoneum in benign gynecologic disease. The Cell Saver, Haemo Lite 2, an intraoperative autologous blood salvage device, was used in laparoscopic surgery on 18 patients with ectopic pregnancies or ovarian bleeding who had a large hemoperitoneum with/without severe anemia and hypovolemic shock. The blood loss was 1186 +/- 789 mL, and the volume of reinfused processed blood was 661 +/- 405 mL in ectopic pregnancy cases. The blood loss was 716 +/- 219 mL, and the volume of reinfused processed blood was 496 +/- 138 mL in ovarian bleeding. Laparoscopic surgery was performed and homologous blood transfusion was not required in any patient. No adverse reactions or procedural difficulties associated with the autologous blood transfusions occurred. Intraoperative autologous blood transfusion enabled the performance of laparoscopic surgery for large hemoperitoneum caused by ectopic pregnancies or ovarian bleeding without a homologous blood transfusion.
