Should we stop oral anticoagulants in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome?

摘要

IntroductionIt is usual to stop the intake of oral anticoagulants (anti-vitamin K) before surgery. Some authors have shown that during minimal surgery, the relay with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) may lead to more thromboembolic complications. We present a prospective comparative study while evaluating the results of stopping or continuing anticoagulants in the surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.
