The role of Multidisciplinary Team and stepwise pelvic devascularisation to minimise blood loss during total pelvic exenteration for patients refusing blood transfusion
We describe the case of a Jehovah’s witness patient undergoing pelvic exenteration for recurrent endometrial carcinoma, focusing on the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative measures that allowed uncomplicated surgeries. Our case shows that pelvic exenteration is feasible in patients refusing blood products, if performed with a multidisciplinary team and careful planning.
