Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Urological surgery is increasingly required for patients with bleeding disorders.
  • Prostatectomy is a common urological procedure with potential complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the perioperative management of patients with bleeding disorders undergoing prostatectomy.
  • To present a rational approach for preventing postoperative bleeding in this patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 10 patients with acquired or congenital bleeding disorders who underwent prostatectomy.
  • Analysis of surgical procedures (transurethral vs. suprapubic prostatectomy), postoperative complications, and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Nine out of ten patients experienced postoperative bleeding, requiring secondary procedures.

  • Bleeding occurred an average of 13 days postoperatively, with a mean hospital stay of 24 days.
  • Elevated partial thromboplastin time (PTT) was noted preoperatively in all patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prostatectomy in patients with bleeding disorders carries a high risk of significant postoperative bleeding.
    • Careful perioperative management and factor/blood replacement are crucial.
    • A structured approach is essential for minimizing bleeding complications.
