title: [Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of postoperative deep venous thrombosis in gynecologic onocology].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the clinical profile of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after operation on pelvic tumours and to study how to choose the methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of DVT.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical characteristics, the methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of 11 cases with DVT and 18 cases with the tendency to DVT were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Old age, fatness and oringinal pelvic malignant tumours were the high risk factors for postoperative DVT. Especially the patients with endometrial carcinoma were with the high incidence of DVT. Colour-code Doppler ultrasonography was the best choice to diagnose DVT. Heparin or low molecule weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulation was effective treatment in postoperative DVT.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Old age, fatness and gynecologic malignant tumours should be considered as highrisk factors for postoperative DVT. Preoperative or postoperative prophylatic treatment of DVT should be considered in high risk population. Anticoagulation was effective in postoperative DVT.
