Abstract
Should Combined Hormonal Contraception Be Stopped in the Perioperative Period?A 34-year-old woman is scheduled to undergo surgery to manage a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. Her only medication is an estrogen- and progestin-containing oral contraceptive pill (OCP). Should she stop her combined oral contraception to reduce the risk of a postoperative blood clot?
