Thrombophlebitis of lower extremities after the surgery due to obstetric and gynecological diseases

Objective: To explore factors related to occurrence of thrombosis in women that underwent surgery due to obstetric and gynecological diseases in order to find out an optimum treatment.Methods: Data of 36 cases suffering from thrombophlebitis of lower extremities after surgery was retrospectively analyzed,including age,weight,surgery time,time for occurrence of thrombophlebitis,primary diseases,location,treatment,and clinical efficiency.Results: Thrombophlebitis occurred most frequently among those aged 41-50,but no significant differences was shown when it was compared with those at other age group(P0.05).50% thrombophlebitis occurred in those having weight of 71-80 kg,thrombophlebitis occurred most frequently 5-10 days after surgery,and in those with hysteromyoma,all showing significant difference when comparing with other groups(P all 0.05).Incidence of thrombosis occurred in single lower extremity was significant different that occurred in both lower extremities(P0.01),specifically,thrombosis in left lower extremity was significant different from that in right lower extremity(P0.05);the effective rates of comprehensive therapy was significant different from that of surgery or anticoagulation + thrombolysis therapy(P0.05).Conclusions: Occurrence of postoperative thrombophlebitis in women underwent surgery due to obstetric and gynecological diseases is related to patients′ weight,primary diseases,but it is not associated with age and surgery time.Comprehensive therapy is most effective on thrombophlebitis,and is worth for application in large scale.
