 AB    The autologous program is the most reliable method used in avoiding the
       consequences of homologous blood transfusion (particularly hepatitis and
       HIV) for patients who must undergo surgery. The autologous transfusion
       program's prerequisites are less restrictive than those concerning the
       homologous transfusion program. There are different modes to accomplish
       the autologous blood transfusion program according to the chosen
       technique. The risks involved in autologous blood donation are the same
       as these involved in a normal blood donation and they are not considered
       a restrictive factor. The practice of the autologous program in Gyn
       surgery is not different from what has been done in general surgery.
       Finally, shown below, is a study of the autologous transfusion
       experience in Gyn surgery performed in the OB/GYN service at San Daniele
       del Friuli Hospital, Udine for the period 1989-1993. A new method of
       autologous donation has been achieved in this ward since 1987.
