Perioperative continuation of aspirin, oral anticoagulants or bridging with therapeutic low‐molecular‐weight heparin does not increase intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion rate in cystectomy patients: an observational cohort study

To assess if uninterrupted anticoagulant agents' administration affects blood loss and blood transfusion during open radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion.We conducted an observational single-centre cohort study of a consecutive series of 1430 RC patients, between 2000 and 2020.
