Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the influences of total abdominal and laparoscopically hysterectomy on coagulation and fibrinolytic functions.
METHODSBlood samples were taken from 20 patients without high-risk factor of thrombosis before and after total abdominal and laparoscopically hysterectomy. The values of PT, APTT, FG, D-Dimer and AT-III were measured.
RESULTSThe values of PT and AT-III significantly decreased while D-Dimer significantly increased after the operations. These changes were more obvious in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. No significant changes in APTT or FG were noted after hysterectomy.
CONCLUSIONSPatients undergoing hysterectomy are at risk of developing thromboembolism, but the laparoscopic approach can significantly lower this risk as compared with abdominal hysterectomy.
