Abstract/OtherAbstract:
TE is an important problem in modern surgery and medicine. Its domination manifestation, and the one which we can influence by the use of prophylaxis is FPE. High age is the most important risk factor. In spite of the increasing age of the population and the increased use of extensive surgery, there are evidence suggesting a tendency to decreased incidence o f FPE, at least in the surgical population. This does not mean that the problem of TE is decreasing, but it may be a consequence of a more extensive use of prophylactic measures of various kind. The problem of TE is probably increasing and the search for safer and more effective means of prophylaxis is as important as ever.
