Description
Summary:Obesity is an additional high-risk factor in the development of thromboembolic complications (TEC) in the surgical treatment. 110 cases of obese patients who underwent a treatment at the Surgical Department from January, 2015 to March, 2018. Prior to the operation, all the patients received a medication to prevent thromboembolic complications, while intermittent pneumocompression was applied during the surgery. The use of intermittent pneumocompression of the lower extremities in the laparoscopic surgical treatment of obese patients reduces the amount of venous thromboembolic complications via normalization of the intravenous haemodynamics
