“…Procedures for laparoscopic-assisted myomectomy (LAM) [15], laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) [16], adnexal surgery [17], and ectopic pregnancy surgery [18] have been reported elsewhere. All patients who received scheduled surgery had preoperatively donated autologous blood in amounts ranging from 400 to 1200 mL [15][16][17], depending on the predicted degree of difficulty during the procedures and this blood was transfused back to the selected patients depending on the amounts of intraoperative bleeding. Further, if massive hemorrhage occurred during surgery, salvage device-based intraoperative autologous blood donation and transfusion were also performed [15,18].…”
