Object

Preoperative hemoglobin was included if it was drawn within 30 days of the procedure.

Keypoint

As transfusion following minimally invasive radical prostatectomy is rare, scheduled postoperative hemoglobin assessments in the absence of symptoms are unnecessary to recognize bleeding events. The largest hemoglobin difference between men who did vs did not receive transfusion was seen at 14 hours postoperatively.
