Thrombocytopenia and its management in the surgical patient needing multiple reconstructive procedures.

Abstract:

:Thrombocytopenic patients with surgically correctable lesions such as radial clubhands are too often repeatedly transfused with randomly pooled platelets. This is followed by a clinical rejection of the foreign protein and rapid destruction of the platelets. There may be excessive bleeding episodes. Tissue typing technics now available can provide antigenically compatible platelet concentrates which elicit few of these reactions. Therefore, multiple reconstructive procedures can be achieved with a greater safety margin than previously possible.
