Surgery is a branch of medicine that involves treating diseases or injuries by adjusting or removing organs, tissues or bones. Surgery includes both necessary procedures, like cardiac surgery, or elective procedures, such as joint replacement.

Blood banking
You may need a blood transfusion during or after your surgery. Because of this, your doctor might ask that blood be made available prior to surgery. You can do this through Vitalant Blood Center, our source for blood products, autologous blood (blood you donate to yourself to be used at a later date) or directed donations from a friend or family member.
If you have questions about blood blanking or would like to schedule an appointment, please call (303) 363-2330.
