    Journal: Minerva Ginecol; 1995 Sep; 47(9):365-8. PubMed ID: 8545036.
    Abstract:
    Objective of our study was to determine the incidence of blood transfusions in patients treated with abdominal or vaginal surgery for benign pathologies, because of high risks (especially infections) connected to this practise, and to evaluate the possibility of a simple medical treatment in patients with anemia and not to use blood transfusions. Examining our activity in a five-year period, from 1988 to 1992, we report that the use of blood was required for only 21 women, 1.5 percent of patients with gynecological problems (10 over 639) and 0.17 percent of pregnant patients (11 over 6208). We had more anemia in the abdominal approach than in the vaginal way. A group of 20 young women, with the efficient cardiovascular system, with severe-mild anemia too, were treated with simple medical support, obtaining, in a short time, good clinical conditions.
