This study examines pre- and intraoperative factors contributing to blood loss and identifies areas for improvement. METHODS All patients who underwent elective hepatic resection between June 2007 and June 2009 were identified. Detailed ...

OBJECTIVE Intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing oncological spine surgery poses a major challenge for vulnerable patients.
