A comparison between single- and two-staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty operations in terms of the amount of blood loss and transfusion, perioperative complications, hospital stay, and cost-effectiveness

Abstract

Objectives: We compared bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) operations performed at a single session or at two separate sessions with respect to perioperative complications, the amount of blood loss and transfusion, the length of hospital stay, and the overall cost. Methods: The study included 39 patients (34 females, 5 males; mean age 68.1 years; range 52 to 88 years) and 16 patients (13 females, 3 males; mean age 66.8 years; range 52 to 83 years) who underwent bilateral TKA for osteoarthritis at a single session and at two separate sessions, respectively. Staged operations were interspersed with a mean interval of 8.3 months (range 2 to 24 months). The two groups were compared with respect to perioperative complications, the amount of blood loss and transfusion, the length of hospitalization, and the overall cost. Results: The amount of blood loss and transfusion, the length of intensive care unit stay, and the occurrence of perioperative complications did not differ significantly between single- and two-staged operations (p>0.05). However, the mean length of hospital stay (10.48 days versus 17.19 days; p=0.01) and the mean overall cost (p=0.03) were significantly less in single-staged operations. Perioperative complications accounted for 12.8% (n=5) and 25% (n=4) in single- and two-staged operations, respectively, all of which developed in patients who had a preexisting cardiologic disease. Conclusion: In view of its advantages, single-staged bilateral TKA seems to be an appropriate alternative in selected patients.
