In Sweden, hemophilia and yon Willebrand's disease have both undergone significant increases in numbers of cases diagnosed, as well as having a longer life expectancy. This will logically result in increasing numbers of patients with congenital coagulation defects coming to surgical attention. This review article concisely covers optimal preparation and treatment of hemophilia A and B and von Willebrand's disease, discussing the factors that are deficient, the supplements that are necessary to partially correct those deficiencies, and the dosage and intervals necesasary to accomplish this. A table within the article presents this knowledgein a usable fashion. The article concludesdiscussingthe current threat of HIV infection and antibodies to factor VIII and IX.--Thomas V. Whalen

An 11-month-old8.9 kg baby boy with a sigmoid colostomythat had been done for imperforate anus was admitted for definitive surgery. Bowel preparation consistedof 800 mL of Golytely followed by four adult Fleet enemas, two given in the proximal stoma and two into the distal. Two and a half hours after the enemas cardiac arrest occurred. Electrolyte values included a sodium of 183, serum calcium of 5.4 mg/dL, and serum phosphorus of 63.3 mg/dL. After six hours of resuscitation,including phosphate resins per ostomyand peritoneal dialysis, the child expired. The authors conclude that the commonly held notion that sodium phosphate enemas are not absorbed is incorrect and that they should not be used in small children and infants.--David L. Collins

Six cases of consumptivecoagulopathy in association with capillary hemangiomasare reviewed. Thrombocytopenialasted from 5 to 20 months. Each patient received a variety of therapies, including mechanical and cytolytic means to eradicate the lesions,antihemorrhagic therapy, and blood product support. All patients experienced resolution of the lesions regardless of the type of therapy used, and the platelet counts of each rose to normal levels. The balance between therapeutic interventionsv supportivemeans is discussed.--
