DVT prophylaxis: Keyhole incision is good but DVT prophylaxis with TED stockings, ambulation, targeted leg exercises is excellent. If you are having recurrent leg symptoms, make sure you talk to primary care doctor or GYN surgeon and get a Duplex venous scan to make sure there is no DVT. The only way to exclude DVT is to get a Duplex venous scan of the leg.
