Abstract:Background
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially life-threatening but preventable complication after urological surgery. Physicians are faced with challenges of weighing the risks and benefits of thromboprophylaxis given scanty evidence for or against and practice variation worldwide.
Objective
The primary objective of the study was to explore the possibility of a risk-stratified approach for thromboembolism prophylaxis following radical prostatectomy.
