Abstract
The 30-day cumulative incidence of VTE after hysterectomy for benign conditions was low overall (0.19%). Laparoscopic hysterectomy and vaginal hysterectomy carry a lower risk than the abdominal procedure. Postoperative heparin thromboprophylaxis significantly reduces the risk of VTE and should be considered, especially if risk factors are present.
