    abstract = {Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant postoperative complication,
associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aims to
investigate the incidence and risk factors of DVT in asymptomatic patients
following extended surgical procedures at our institution. A prospective,
time‐bound study was conducted involving 100 patients in the
Department of General Surgery at the PES Institute of Medical Sciences
and Research, Andhra Pradesh, from November 2023 to August 2024. The
study included patients who underwent elective or emergency surgeries
lasting more than two hours, admitted through the emergency
department or outpatient services. Among the 100 patients, the
incidence of asymptomatic DVT was found to be 2 percent. The incidence
of asymptomatic DVT was 2 percent among the 100 patients studied. In
both cases, the duration of surgery exceeded three hours, and the
patients experienced immobilization for three days. The identified risk
factors were prolonged surgical duration and immobilization.}
