  • Surgical Complications
  • Thromboembolism Research

Background:

  • Thromboembolism, encompassing deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE), presents a significant risk in various surgical fields.
  • Plastic surgery patients are susceptible to these serious complications, which can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality.

Observation:

  • Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus are recognized as formidable complications following surgical procedures.
  • The incidence and impact of these events necessitate focused preventative strategies within plastic surgery.

Findings:

  • This article outlines key methods for the comprehension of risk factors associated with DVT and PE in plastic surgery.
  • It also details practical approaches for the prevention of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus in this patient population.
