Key Points

To assess venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates in otolaryngology—head and neck surgery and explore optimization strategies.
Conducted a systematic review of existing literature on VTE in otolaryngology.
Performed a meta-analysis to quantify VTE rates and associated risks.
Evaluated gaps in current guidelines regarding chemoprophylaxis.
VTE rates in otolaryngology surgeries are generally low.
Development of specialty-specific guidelines may enhance perioperative care.
Recommendations could lead to decreased morbidity and mortality associated with VTE.

Implication

Systematic review evaluates venous thromboembolism in otolaryngology surgeries, suggesting improved guidelines could reduce complications.
