Septic pelvic thrombophlebitis is the result of serious pelvic infection usually following obstetric or gynecologic procedures. The management of this condition is of historical interest to the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Tulane, and therefore a retrospective case evaluation and a prospective surveillance were undertaken. This study indicates that septic pelvic thrombophlebitis is seen very rarely today. Possible reasons for the decline in the incidence of this problem and a management plan are presented. Three cases are included.
Adult, Suppuration, Heparin, Postpartum Period, Thrombophlebitis, Infections, Anti-Bacterial Agents, Pregnancy, Humans, Female, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
