Hematology

Definition of Hematology as it relates to Science, Medicine, Surgery

Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. In the context of surgery, hematology plays a crucial role in managing blood disorders that can complicate surgical procedures, such as coagulopathies or anemia. By understanding the patient's hematologic status, surgeons can make informed decisions about perioperative management, including the use of blood products and corrective treatments. Thus, hematology serves as a vital link between the broader fields of science, medicine, and surgery, providing essential knowledge to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.
