Abstract:

Hernia is a common and frequently occurring disease in general surgery, which is more common in the elderly population.Due to the frequent comorbidities of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in elderly patients, long-term oral antithrombotic drug treatment or prevention of pre-existing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is needed.Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a rare but highly lethal complication after general surgery.Therefore, balancing perioperative bleeding and thromboembolic events has become one of the focuses of clinical attention in recent years.However, lack of prevention awareness and compliance with guidelines, limitations in assessment tools, and other prevention issues urgently need to be addressed.Specialist physicians have made some preliminary explorations in surgical and anesthesia methods, achieving certain therapeutic effects.The integration and innovation of surgery and prevention technology, the strengthening of multidisciplinary cooperation mode,and the strengthening of basic research and transformation and application will all become the development direction of VTE specialized prevention in the future.Hernia surgery patients will get safer and more efficient perioperative management, and ultimately achieve a double reduction of VTE incidence rate and mortality.
