title: [Thrombo-embolism in urologic surgery. Prevention by heparin of antiprothrombic drugs. A retrospective report of 2,657 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Three groups of patients undergoing urological operations were given a prophylactic regimen of either subcutaneous heparin (n = 1143), antiprothrombics (n = 944) or no medication (n = 570). Results were deemed through simple clinical criteria. They were similar for the whole of patients and for some types of surgery, pecularly protatic: Anticoagulation induced a significant lowering of the frequency of thromboembolism, heparin being more efficient than antiprothrombics. It does not increase the percentage of haemorrhages. More, peridural anesthesia is not contre-indicated by heparin. However, parietal problems appear to be more frequent among heparinized patients.
