Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant postoperative complication, associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate the incidence and risk factors of DVT in asymptomatic patients following extended surgical procedures at our institution. A prospective, time‐bound study was conducted involving 100 patients in the Department of General Surgery at the PES Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Andhra Pradesh, from November 2023 to August 2024. The study included patients who underwent elective or emergency surgeries lasting more than two hours, admitted through the emergency department or outpatient services. Among the 100 patients, the incidence of asymptomatic DVT was found to be 2 percent. The incidence of asymptomatic DVT was 2 percent among the 100 patients studied. In both cases, the duration of surgery exceeded three hours, and the patients experienced immobilization for three days. The identified risk factors were prolonged surgical duration and immobilization.
