Tóm tắt

SummaryUsing 125I‐fibrinogen scanning the incidence of post‐operative DVT amongst patients with gynaecological malignancy was shown to be 37,9% which is substantialy higher than the 10% to 15% expected in a general gynaecological population. Twenty per cent of the total group studied had isotopic evidence of bilateral venous thrombosis post‐operatively. The inaccuracy of clinical diagnosis was demonstrated, and also the need to investigate both limbs if thrombosis was suspected. The incidence of post‐operative DVT was found to be significantly lower in smokers (11.5%) compared with non‐smokers (68.4%) (p<0.00025).
