Description
Abdulillah R Khamees leads a 2026 case report of extensive leg vein clots after a routine appendix operation in a young healthy man. Deep vein thrombosis, clots in deep veins, is rare after such low-risk surgery and usually affects older people. The patient was a 26-year-old Iraqi man with no prior clot history or long immobility.
One day after surgery he developed swelling and pain in both legs, worse on the right. Ultrasound confirmed wide acute clots in both legs. Treatment used blood thinners for six months, first by injection and then a tablet. Follow-up showed stable clots, and tests found no inherited clotting disorder. Even simple surgery can carry clot risk, the authors warn.
