Risk factors associated with venous thromboembolism in laparoscopic surgery in non-obese patients with benign disease
Few studies have focused on intraoperative positioning as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Positioning that places the legs in a dependent position may be a risk factor. We theorized that the re...
