title: [Prevention of thromboembolic disease in gynecologic surgery].
abstract: The authors present the results of their blind prospective comparative study of the postoperative thromboembolic protection of 490 gynecologic patients. Among them 250 (51%) were protected by a low dose heparin (LDH) subcutaneously in 12-hour intervals, 240 (49%) received heparindihydergot (HDHE). Thromboembolisms diagnosed by the 125J fibrinogen uptake test appeared in 26 (10.4%) patients protected by LDH and 23 (9.6%) by HDHE. The most frequent risk factors in patients with thromboembolisms were malignant diseases, obesity, varicose veins, hypertension and a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Haemorrhages appeared in 7 (2.8%) patients protected by LDH and 8 (3.3%) by HDHE.
