This review summarizes current research and recommendations for VTE prophylaxis in gynecologic surgery.
Synthesizes VTE prophylaxis guidance for gynecologic surgery; leaves open need for updated RCTs to refine risk-stratified protocols.
Gynecologic surgery offers unique challenges, as pelvic surgery places patients at an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Prevention of VTE is a goal of patients, policy makers, and surgeons. In this review, we address the current research and recommendations for VTE prophylaxis.
