Reply to "Can this surgery be done without giving blood transfusions?"

skn69Member

I have had a couple dozen abdominal surgeries and only need 1 transfusion (step 2 of k pouch) due to rather unexpected complications that had nothing to do with the surgery itself directly (I woke up in the middle of surgery and went into shock...consequently I needed blood)...if not, they never had to transfuse me and they did a lot of work in there...it isn't a bad idea to stock blood if you are really scared as long as it can be used for another patient if (hopefully) it is not needed.
