Core Tip	This retrospective study single-center observational study compared the outcomes of perioperative and postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) and investigated the risk factors in patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery. The incidence of VTE peaked within 1 week post-surgery, and prophylactic anticoagulation therapy with low molecular weight heparin reduced the incidence of VTE and exhibited a good safety profile. An age ≥ 65 years, a body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2, and malignant diseases of the digestive system were identified as risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative VTE in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
