Plastic surgery: Prevent deep vein thrombosis

We have been to Gijón (Asturias, Spain), for a Scientific Conference organized by BIOSER under the title “Advances and new technologies in plastic and reconstructive surgery”. There, Dr. Jesus Benito has been invited to lecture on the Prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis in Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery:

Deep vein thrombosis is popularly known outside the field of surgery as “economy class syndrome”. In plastic surgery is a complication which, although rare, is dangerous because there is always a risk of clots forming in the legs and in extreme cases these can lead to stroke and death.

The plastic surgery procedures with greatest risk are the abdominoplasty (with greatly increased risk if combined with another intraabdominal procedure), the belt lipectomy and TRAM flap breast reconstruction.

The Spanish Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has published our work that addresses this issue for the first time in Spain with the aim of enhancing security and profilaxis during surgical interventions and where we present guidelines for the prevention of thromboembolic events tailored to Spanish plastic surgery.
