[Role of local fibrinolytic activity of the uterine horns in rats in the pathogenesis of formation of postoperative adhesions].

Experimental models were used to examine the impact of corrections of the uterine horns on the activity of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). The application of sutures was shown to suppress the activity of tPA in the uterine horns to a greater extent than other surgical techniques. With this, the use of catgut caused the highest suppression of tPA activity and increases in the frequency and density of formation of postoperative adhesions.
