Abstract

The effect of galvanic stimulation of the calf muscles during surgical operations on the development of postoperative deep‐vein thrombosis was assessed using ¹²⁵I fibrinogen in 64 patients over 40 years of age undergoing major surgery. Alternate legs were stimulated in alternate patients using the opposite leg as a control. No significant difference in the incidence of deep‐vein thrombosis was observed either in the immediate postoperative period or later.
