dc.description.abstractUrokinase with its' proteolytic enzyme activity, has been frequently used in experimental studies on postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion formation. As wound healing process may be effected with the same mechanism, we aimed to investigate if intraperitoneal administration of urokinase increases the rate of anastomotic complications. For every ten rats of the control and urokinase group, laparotomy and colonic anastomosis are performed. In the urokinase group abdominal cavities are irrigated with 2000 IU of urokinase. All the rats are sacrificed at postoperative seventh day and adhesion scoring, anastomosis bursting pressure and histopathological findings are investigated. There is no anastomotic leakage in both groups. Adhesion score in control group (2.6±0.52) was significantly higher than urokinase group (1.1±0.74). Differences in anastomotic bursting pressure between the groups were not statistically significant. Although serosal and mucosal continuity were not achieved properly due to excessive fibroblastic activity in control animals, it could be obtained in the urokinase group sufficiently. Our findings support the efficacy of urokinase in preventing the postoperative intraabdominal adhesion formation, while the healing process at the anastomotic site is not alter with its' intraperitoneal administration.en_US
