Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a well-known and sometimes lethal complication, and prophylactic measures to decrease the risk have been documented in a vast number of publications. Today this is reflected in several guidelines [ 1 ], and although there are some different views among surgeons, the majority of high-risk patients receive some form of prophylaxis today. When new surgical methods are introduced or old ones are modified, it would seem important to define the risk for various complications, VTE being one, and whether or not thromboprophylaxis should be used. A potential problem is to extrapolate routines without having data supporting the evidence. It is only a little more than a decade the principles of ERPs (enhanced or early recovery after surgery, also called fast-track programs or early recovery programs) were pioneered by Henrik Kehlet in Denmark. Since then these principles have been adopted in many types of surgery and nowadays, the patients are mobilized and sent home rapidly also after rather major surgical treatments. Intuitively this would decrease the risk for VTE. The aim of this chapter is to analyze the risk of VTE after ERAS and the evidence on when and how to use thromboprophylaxis. In Table 9.1 factors are listed, which may reduce the risk of VTE in ERP patients.
