The authors describe a method of preoperative autotransfusion for scheduled total hip prothesis. Blood is collected in the patients 10 days before the operation. This blood is retransfused at the end of surgery, done under continuous epidural anesthesia. Of the 15 patients, 85% had a total hip prothesis without receiving bank blood.
