Abstract
Several risk factors for DVT were identified in surgical patients
presenting with DVT in the postoperative period, and their
comprehension may improve appropriateness and efficiency of the
different methods available for thromboprophylaxis.
Among general surgery patients, those undergoing colorectal
surgical procedures are at a higher-than-average risk for developing
postoperative DVT because these procedures tend to be prolonged,
patients are often placed in the lithotomy position, and a pelvic dissection
is commonly performed. Furthermore; the indication for surgery is often
cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, and these are known to be risk
factors for thrombo-embolism.
