Thromboembolism prophylaxis in laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic benign diseases. Results of a single center experience in 922 procedures.

CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery in women for gynecologic benign diseases is associated with a very low risk of thromboembolism and therefore it does not require any mechanical or pharmacological thromboprophylaxis in the absence of risk factors. The systematic evaluation of VTE risk with the help of a standard calculator is highly recommended. KEY WORDS: Gynaecology, Laparoscopic surgery, Thromboprophylaxis.
