A member asked:
I read that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy could cause in its complications blood clots, so at which cases could this complication happen? & how much time the patient is under such complication probability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any major surgery is a risk factor for venous thrombi/clots. Your doctor can take preventive measures, depending on your level of risk. The clot prevention may be continued while you are recovering from surgery. Wish you good health!
