Systematic prevention of deep vein thrombosis with subcutaneous heparin therapy following cesarean section. Advantages and disadvantages

: The study was carried out on 234 women who had undergone caesarean sections. Hematoma in the area of the incision represents a major obstacle to the prevention of deep vein thrombosis through systematic subcutaneous heparin therapy. Even though anticoagulant therapy is not 100% effective, complications in this particular treatment appear to be minor. In our opinion, this therapy should be reserved for certain favorable cases and should not be generally used for all women undergoing caesarean sections.
