 | | The incidence of DVT in urologic surgery is similar to that in general surgery, that is, about 25 percent, and ranges from 40 percent in transvesical prostatectomy to 10 percent in transurethral surgery. | | | All elective orthopedic surgical patients undergoing lower extremity surgery are at risk for deep venous thrombosis. | | | The largest pool of data has been obtained in studies of patients over the age of 40 undergoing general surgical procedures, where the average incidence of deep venous thrombosis in control patients is 25 percent by fibrinogen scanning and 19 percent by venography. |

| | A deep venous thrombosis is most common in the legs, but it can occur in other parts of the body. | | | While further study is recommended, the findings are encouraging. | | | However, other researchers have not found the same relationship. |

| | Deep vein thrombosis can cause pain in the leg, and can lead to complications if the clot or parts of it travel in the bloodstream to other vital parts of the body such as the lungs and brain. | | | There is an extensive literature about the use of graduated compression stockings in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis after surgery, and in general the stockings are considered to be effective, particularly when used in combination with other preventive measures. | | | Perkins, J., Beech, A., and Hands, L. (1999) Vascular Surgical Society of Great Britain and Ireland: randomized controlled trial of heparin plus graduated compression stocking for the prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis in general surgical patients. |

| | Symptoms of DVT, if present, usually include swelling of the involved extremity with local tenderness deep within the muscles in the area. | | | In some circumstances, deep vein thrombosis may also contribute to other serious medical problems such as heart attack and stroke. | | | Therefore, preventing DVT is key to saving injuries and lives. |

| | Although much has been written about DVT risks from air travel in both the scientific literature and the lay press, robust scientific studies that clearly define the risks, incidence and consequences of this possible condition are lacking. | | | Long-Term, Low-Intensity Warfarin Therapy for the Prevention of Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism | | | This distinguished committee of 55 aerospace medicine physicians from numerous countries and backgrounds concludes that there is no epidemiological studies published supporting an increased incidence of DVT due to travel in the absence of pre-existing risk factors. |

| | Blood thinners like heparin and coumadin are effective in preventing further clotting and can prevent a pulmonary embolism from occurring. | | | With early treatment, people with DVT can reduce their chances of developing a life threatening pulmonary embolism to less than one percent. | | | One in every 100 patients who develop DVT die due to pulmonary embolism. |

| | Possible signs and symptoms of DVT include swelling of the leg, dilation of the veins, increased skin temperature, pain and tenderness, and, rarely, a bluish discoloration of the lower leg. | | | Although other measures are sometimes used, the most common form of treatment for DVT is the use of anticoagulants, such as heparin and warfarin. | | | Sometimes, there are no signs and symptoms of DVT. |
