    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Transfusion Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute hemoperitoneum is a major cause of mortality in gynecologic procedures.
    • Blood loss from hemoperitoneum necessitates effective management strategies.

    Observation:

    • A device typically used in open heart operations can be repurposed.
    • Intraperitoneal blood can be salvaged for autotransfusion.

    Findings:

    • Two cases demonstrate the application of salvaged hemoperitoneum blood for autotransfusion.
    • The study highlights the indications and limitations of this technique.

    Implications:

    • This approach offers a potential method to reduce mortality associated with hemoperitoneum.
  • Repurposing surgical devices can lead to innovative patient care solutions.
