SCIP-INF-6: Surgery patients with appropriate hair removal (added in 2008, retired in 2011) SCIP-INF-7 : Colorectal surgery patients with immediate postoperative normothermia ( added 2009 ) SCIP-INF-8 : Short half-life prophylactic administered preoperatively re-dosed within 4 h after preoperative dose ( proposed 2010 )
The type of surgery performed prior to the formation of blood clots influences the risk. Without prophylactic interventions, the calculated incidence of clot formation in the lower leg veins after surgery is: 22% for neurosurgery; 26% for abdominal surgery; 45% for 60% in orthopedic surgery; 14% for gynecologic surgery [13]

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot within a deep vein. It most commonly affects leg veins, such as the femoral vein. Three factors are important in the formation of a blood clot within a deep vein—these are: the rate of blood flow, the thickness of the blood and; qualities of the vessel wall.
Risk factors, present in around 50% of documented cases, include malignancy, hyper-coagulable states, cardiac disease, venous stasis, venous insufficiency, May-Thurner syndrome (right iliac artery compressing the left iliac vein that runs beneath it), surgery, trauma, pregnancy, inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, hormone therapy, oral contraceptives, prolonged immobilization, inflammatory bowel ...
Deep vein thrombosis/ right leg Thrombophlebitis causes include disorders related to increased tendency for blood clotting and reduced speed of blood in the veins such as prolonged immobility; prolonged traveling (sitting) may promote a blood clot leading to thrombophlebitis but this occurs relatively less.
The Perthes test is a clinical test for assessing the patency of the deep femoral vein prior to varicose vein surgery. [1] It is named after German surgeon Georg Perthes . The limb is elevated and an elastic bandage is applied firmly from the toes to the upper 1/3 of the thigh to obliterate the superficial veins only.
In the same population, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was found in 24.6% of people with SVTs. [3] However, because superficial veins lack muscular support, any clots that form are far less likely to be squeezed by muscle contraction, dislodged, and induce a PE. [2] SVTs can recur after they resolve, which is termed "migratory thrombophlebitis."
