## Overview

[edit | edit source]

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of hemophilia.

## Surgery

[edit | edit source]

* Surgical intervention is not recommended for the routine management of hemophilia.
* Surgical intervention may be required in cases where hematomas or bleeds cannot be managed conservatively, i.e. with major intracranial hemorrhages or joints destruction due to frequent episodes of hemarthrosis.[1][2]
