REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION AFTER RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY ON RAT UTERINE HORNS

Objective-To assess the effectiveness of tuboplasty procedures employi ng fibrin glue. Methods-Experimental tuboplasty operations were perfor med on 63 rats using biological glues (fibrin glue-''Beriplast'' Behri ng; ''FK-1'', Russia) and microsuture materials. Uterine horn patency, adhesion formation, and other changes at the site of anastomosis, as well as pregnancy rate and embryonal characteristics, were assessed. C onclusions-We confirmed the effectiveness of fibrin glue application i n reconstructive surgery on uterine horns, and documented no significa nt differences between microsuture and sutureless anastomoses with reg ard to pregnancy rates (80 and 83.3%, respectively).
