Overview

Emphasizes VTE prophylaxis decisions in colorectal surgery; extends prior reviews but leaves optimal regimens open for prospective trials.

Population
Postoperative colorectal patients, particularly those with inflammatory bowel disease or malignancy undergoing lengthy pelvic procedures

Intervention
Risk stratification and implementation of mechanical and pharmacologic prophylactic strategies for venous thromboembolism

Colorectal surgery patients are at high risk for venous thromboembolism, necessitating appropriate risk stratification and implementation of mechanical and pharmacologic prophylaxis.

Cite This Study

McNally et al. (2009) conducted a review in Venous thromboembolic disease. Risk stratification and prophylactic strategies was evaluated. Risk stratification for venous thromboembolism in colorectal surgery patients is critical for implementing appropriate mechanical and pharmacologic prophylactic strategies.
