Introduction: The aim of this study was to apply a simple mathematical approach to calculate blood loss in 126 patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP). Materials and Methods: Perioperative red blood cell loss (RBCL) was estimated by adding the difference in circulating red blood cells from before to after surgery to the...
