The use of recombinant activated factor VII in the circumcision operation in the case of a congenital factor VII deficiency
Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive hemorrhagic disorder and surgery is normally the cause of excessive bleeding. In this report, we describe the first case with congenital factor VII deficiency admitted to our clinics for the sunnet operation (circumcision), in which recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa; NovoSeven) was used to manage the bleeding.
