In the most recent years, a number of reports have appeared in foreign literature about a significant increase over the past 3-10 years in cases of thrombosis and embolism in general, and in particular fatal pulmonary embolism. This increase, according to some authors (Fahr), has taken on alarming proportions, is emphasized not only by clinicians - surgeons, gynecologists, obstetricians and internists [Watson (1923, 1924), Linhardt (1926), Kappis (1926), Oehler (1926) , Rost (1927), Noordmann (1927), Kbler (1927), Reye (1927), Schnbauer (1927), Hegler (1927), Flrcken (1927), Martini (1927), Stich (1928), Sthr u. Kazda (1928), Sulger (1928), Loewe (1928), Calmann (1928), Detering (1928), Prochnow (1928), etc., but it is also confirmed with special relief on the sectional material [Fahr (1927), Hring ( 1928), Oberndorfer (1918), Martini (1928), Martini u. Oppitz (1928)]. According to F. Knig'y, the issue of thrombosis and embolism is now almost as burning for surgeons as the issue of postoperative sepsis was earlier for our predecessors.
