Abstract

From July 1990 to September 1991 we used the cell-saver for autologous intraoperative retransfusion in 8 radical prostatectomies, 5 cystectomies and one adenomenucleation. Postoperatively we tolerated a hemoglobin fall up to 10 g/100 ml. Doing it without heterologous blood was possible in 7 out of 14 patients. In all of them the preoperative hemoglobin was higher than 13 g/100 ml and the blood loss did not exceed 3000 ml.
