Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of post-surgical complications in patients with hemophilia and von Willebrand disease. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study with descriptive and exploratory data analysis was conducted at the outpatient clinic of the Arthur de Siqueira Cavalcanti State Institute of Hematology (Hemorio). The sample included 26 patients who underwent tooth extraction following the protocols of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Results: The prevalence of post-surgical complications identified in the study was 26.07 %, with 15.38 % of cases presenting bleeding after extraction. Conclusion: The prevalence of postoperative complications found in this study was notably higher in patients with von Willebrand disease, followed by those with severe hemophilia.
