Surgical teams place a high premium on preventing deep vein thrombosis during lengthy surgeries. Surgeons take a comprehensive approach to preventing blood clots, which includes encouraging early mobility and using blood thinners like low molecular weight heparins. The procedure and the patient's condition may cause slight variations in the methods.

Understanding the complex systems of our bodies is critical to our journey to optimal health. Among these complications, blood clots carry enough risk if not properly managed to cause serious health issues.

Deep vein thrombosis is a critical condition where a blood clot forms in the veins deep inside the body. It may cause the vein to be partially or completely blocked, disturbing the blood flow through veins, most commonly affecting the veins of calves, thighs, and pelvis.
