Objective To investigate the correlated risk factors of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after the laparoscopic surgery. Methods Clinical records of 16 patients with DVT and 148 patients without DVT after laparoscopic surgery in Huashan hospital from Mar.2007 to Jan.2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were several factors which could induce DVT after the laparoscopic surgery, including operation time >1 h 〔OR=4.15 (95% CI: 1.36-12.68)〕, operative site located in hypogastrium 〔OR=2.94 (95% CI: 1.07-8.08)〕 and the number of high risk factors ≥3 〔OR=3.94 (95% CI: 1.38-11.23)〕. Conclusions The long time of operation, hypogastric operation of laparoscopic surgery and high risk factors could induce DVT. Prevention measures should be made in preoperative period.
