Abstract
Transfusion after pelvic reconstructive surgery is uncommon. The variables associated with transfusion are preoperative hematocrit <30%, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, bleeding disorders, nonwhite race, Hispanic ethnicity, and concomitant hysterectomy. Recognition of these factors can help guide preoperative counseling regarding transfusion risk after pelvic reconstructive surgery and individualize preoperative preparation.
