ABSTRACT
An abundance of literature has demonstrated that coronavirus disease (COVID-19) contributes to a hypercoagulable state that is associated with venous thromboembolic events. Data on postoperative complications after a mild COVID-19 infection are limited. We report a case of ovarian vein thrombosis after pelvic surgery in a patient with a recent mild COVID-19 infection. The patient presented with complaints of fever and worsening right-sided abdominal pain postoperatively and was found to have a right ovarian vein thrombosis. Thrombophilia workup was negative. The hypercoagulable state of patients with COVID-19 may have implications on postoperative complications after gynecologic surgery even in cases of mild infection. Further research is needed to determine the optimal thromboembolic prophylaxis for patients undergoing pelvic surgery after a COVID-19 infection.
