The main risk with this blood disorder is not infection, but bleeding. One is at higher risk for a bleeding complication, because the blood does not clot properly. It is best to have a consultation with a hematologist prior to any elective surgery to discuss the risks and how to prevent them (or to not have the surgery at all).
