Successful laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in a patient with factor XI deficiency

In a patient with factor XI deficiency, the serum coagulation factor level does not predict bleeding tendency appropriately. Operations in sites without fibrinolytic activity are less likely to be complicated by bleeding, while surgery in areas with fibrinolytic activity, like prostatectomy, increases the risk of
