Thromboprophylaxis in urologic and oncologic urologic surgery

The increasing extent and radicality of surgical procedures, particularly in at-risk patients, increasingly requires adequate prophylactic

measures in preventing venous complications. Urologic and, in particular, oncologic urologic surgery is burdened by a high risk of

developing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The introduction of rational thromboprophylaxis reduces this risk and improves

the patient‘s prognosis. Routine use of appropriate thromboprophylaxis and its prolongation should be included in the standard

algorithms for care in urologic and oncologic urologic patients.

Keywords: deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, low molecular weight heparins – LMWH, low-dose unfractionated heparin – LDUH
