Purpose: A retrospective review of consecutive adult patients undergoing scoliosis correction surgery was performed to compare the effects of aprotinin and tranexamic acid in blood conservation and to define a comprehensive blood conservation strategy for such surgery.
Methods: Medical records of all patients who underwent scoliosis correction surgery in this unit between January 2003 and December 2008 were reviewed. The patients were divided into three cohorts: group 1 receiving no antifibrinolytics, group 2 aprotinin and group 3 tranexamic acid.
