Surgical emergencies in patients with hemophilia A represent a major risk of mortality without proper multidisciplinary management and require prompt and effective treatment to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes. We present a short number of cases that were hospitalized in the I-II Surgery Clinic of the Emergency County Hospital "St. Spiridon" from Iasi, Romania, with hemophilia A requiring surgical emergencies.

It showcases how E-VAC can effectively mitigate the risk of further complications, such as leakage, bleeding, or rupture, which are more commonly associated with traditional methods like stents, clips, or sutures. As a result, there is a significant reduction in mortality rates.

- - A 52-year-old man with severe hemophilia A and inhibitors underwent surgery for acute cholecystitis, which didn’t improve with conservative treatment.
- - The surgery included laparoscopic techniques and an eventual open cholecystectomy due to severe complications, like an abscess and extensive inflammation.
- - Post-surgery, the patient experienced complications that required another surgery, but after extended hemostatic support with rFVIIa, he was eventually discharged in stable condition.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the early postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic treatment for perforated peptic ulcers (PPU) in eight Romanian surgical centers.
- Between 2009 and 2013, 297 patients were analyzed, with a majority experiencing low complication rates and a mean hospital stay of 5.5 days.
- Results indicate that laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method, establishing it as the "gold standard" for patients with lower Boey scores (0 or 1).
