Abstract
A prospective, double-blind, controlled study was conducted to assess the incidence of postoperative wound hematomas associated with low-dose subcutaneous heparin therapy among patients undergoing surgery for a single inguinal hernia. The groups were well matched. The results indicate that low-dose heparin therapy is associated with more wound hematomas. Complications of low-dose heparin therapy and new ways to avoid these complications are discussed. The indications for the prophylactic administration of low-dose heparin therapy need careful assessment.
