Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following distal pancreatectomy (DP). However, the influence of operative technique on VTE risk after DP is unknown.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the MIS technique versus the open technique and the development of postoperative VTE after DP.
Methods: Patients who underwent DP from 2014 to 2015 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program pancreas-specific database. Multivariable logistic regression was then used to identify independent associations with the development of postoperative VTE after DP.
Results: A total of 3558 patients underwent DP during this time period. Of these cases, 47.8% (n = 1702) were performed via the MIS approach. After adjusting for significant covariates, the MIS approach was independently associated with the development of any VTE (odds ratio [OR] 1.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-2.40; p = 0.025), as well as increasing the risk of developing a postdischarge VTE (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.05-3.08; p = 0.033) when compared with the open approach. There was an association between VTE and the development of numerous postoperative complications, including pneumonia, unplanned intubation, need for prolonged mechanical ventilation, and cardiac arrest.
Conclusion: Compared with the open approach, the MIS approach is associated with higher rates of postoperative VTE in patients undergoing DP. The majority of these events are diagnosed after hospital discharge.

This case report presents a 16-year-old basketball player, who developed deep venous thrombosis (DVT) following surgical intervention for a displaced tibial tuberosity fracture and forearm fractures. Despite few identifiable thrombotic risk factors, the patient's postoperative course was complicated by unexplained leg pain, fever, and ultimately confirmed DVT. Prompt management with therapeutic anticoagulation and multidisciplinary care led to favourable outcomes.

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) following injury and subsequent fixation of a distal femur fracture (DFFx) is associated with considerable morbidity. However, the incidence of VTE, associated factors, and the relative risk compared with hip fracture (HFx) fixation remains poorly characterized.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study using the PearlDiver M165 database to identify geriatric patients who underwent DFFx and HFx fixation.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite improvements with fast-track treatment protocols, 0.5% of patients still develop a VTE within 90-days postoperatively.

Introduction: Compared with the guideline-recommended use of low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for 28 days to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after cytoreductive surgery, oral rivaroxaban avoids the pain and inconvenience of daily injections and reduces medical expenses. The proposed randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin in preventing VTE in patients after surgery for gynaecological malignancies and to provide a reference for clinical medication prevention.
Methods And Analysis: This is a single-centre, randomised, controlled, open-label and assessor-blind clinical trial.
Introduction: In the United States, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) ranked high in terms of possibly preventable hospital deaths. Victims of trauma were at a higher risk of developing thromboembolic complications, and thus various agents were used for prophylaxis. Multiple studies recommended holding these agents in the perioperative period to decrease the potential complications of additional bleeding, wound issues, hematoma etc.
