Abstract
Bleeding complications of surgery are amongst the greatest of a surgeon’s concerns threatening not only the patient but also the success of the surgical procedure. This chapter focuses on disorders and processes that enhance the risk of bleeding in the setting of surgery. A practical method for the assessment of such risk prior to surgery will be developed emphasizing an approach utilizing information derived from the patients’ history, deemphasizing a reliance on the laboratory.
