Key result
Careful perioperative management of laparoscopic surgery in a 66-year-old man with protein S deficiency and colon cancer resulted in successful surgery with no postoperative thrombi observed.
Case Report (n=1)
Careful perioperative management in a patient with protein S deficiency undergoing laparoscopic surgery can successfully prevent deep venous thromboembolism.
May support safe laparoscopic surgery with careful management in protein S deficiency; leaves open generalizability beyond single cases.
Patients with protein S deficiency are prone to developing thrombosis. During laparoscopic surgery in patients with protein S deficiency, there is a risk of deep venous thromboembolism. In the present case, the patient was a 66-year-old man. He was diagnosed with colon cancer, and surgery was planned. Because of the presence of protein S deficiency, he required careful perioperative management for laparoscopic surgery. Surgery was successfully performed. On postoperative assessment, no thrombi were observed. Our approach of perioperative management might help in the treatment of patients with protein S deficiency.

Tashiro et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Protein S deficiency and colon cancer (n=1). Perioperative management for laparoscopic surgery was evaluated on Thrombus formation. Careful perioperative management of laparoscopic surgery in a 66-year-old man with protein S deficiency and colon cancer resulted in successful surgery with no postoperative thrombi observed.
