Overview

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of hemophilia.

Surgery

• Surgical intervention is not recommended for the routine management of hemophilia.
• Surgical intervention may be required in cases where hematomas or bleeds cannot be managed conservatively, i.e. with major intracranial hemorrhages or joints destruction due to frequent episodes of hemarthrosis.
