Objective: To draw a synthesis of the available evidence regarding interventions for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events during the perioperative care of women with benign gynecological pathology, with the aim of reducing the associated morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods: The development group included healthcare professionals, decision-makers and one patient representative. All the participants stated their disclosures. Answerable clinical questions were built and outcomes were graded. The search for information was conducted in Medline, Embase, Epistemonikos and LILACS, but it also included grey literature and was updated on September 22, 2020, with no date or language restrictions. The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach was used to determine the quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendations. Formal consensus was developed in accordance with the RAND/UCLA methodology. The document was submitted to peer review before publication. Results: The abbreviated version of the “consensus on the prevention of venous thromboembolic events during the perioperative care of women with benign gynecological pathology” is presented together with the supporting evidence and respective recommendations. Conclusions: The key recommendations for implementation include the use of the Caprini scale and of interventions consistent with the individual perioperative risk level.
