...%). They were matched to 104 on-clamp RPN. The complications rate (15.5 vs. 7.7%, p = 0.53), major complications rate (4.9 vs. 3.9%; p = 0.82), and transfusions rate (0 vs. 4.9%; p = 0.58) did not differ significantly between the clamped and unclamped groups. Conversely, estimated blood loss was higher...

... loss and the necessity of transfusions. This prospective randomised clinical study evaluates the influence of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) on blood loss in RRP. Materials and Methods: 235 patients were randomised: TEA in group 1 (n = 116; general anaesthesia + TEA) comprised continuous...

...Atsuo Kondo; Hajime Torii The effect of transurethral external sphincterotomy, performed in 24 patients, was evaluated quantitatively on micturition parameters and blood loss. The total urethral resistance, residual urine, and the maximum and average urinary flow rates were all improved...

...T. Casey McCullough; Jonathan V. Roth; Phillip C. Ginsberg; Richard C. Harkaway Objective: To compare the calculated blood loss for radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) with the anesthesiologist’s and operating surgeon’s estimates of operative blood loss. Methods: A retrospective review of 52...
