Two-surgeon technique of parenchymal transection contributes to reduced transfusion rate in patients undergoing major hepatectomy
Published 2010“…Results Median intra-operative blood loss was 250 cc, and 30-day peri-operative red cell transfusion rate was 27%. On multivariate analysis, factors that significantly predicted increased red cell transfusion rates were female sex, pre-operative hematocrit <30%, platelet count <100,000/mm3, simultaneous resection of other organs, major hepatic resection, use of the Pringle maneuver, and tumors >10 cm. …”
