Abstract

The authors present the results of investigations on tensile strength of intestinal anastomosis in pharmacologically induced blood clotting disturbances in the postoperative period (1-16 days). Experiments were carried out on 50 male rabbits in two groups- a treated group and another for control only. Animals in the experimental group were treated with Sincumar 24 hours before and in the postoperative period. The dosis of Sincumar was calculated to reduce the prothrombin index below 40 percent. The tensile strength of intestinal anastomosis was tested the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 15th day after operation and in the same time histological examinations of anastomosis specimen were performed. In conclusion the authors found that the reduction of the prothrombin index below 40 percent does not influence the process of healing of anastomosis of the small intestine, prevents the formation of adhesions and inflammatory peritoneal reaction following operation.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
