[Prevention of adhesions in abdominal surgery. A dose finding study with streptokinase/streptodornase].

Unlabelled: Measurement of intraperitoneal fibrinolytic activity on 50 patients having undergone abdominal surgery (four of them controls). Instillation of streptokinase/streptodornase (Varidase) into the abdominal cavity. Determination of total protein, plasminogen, antiplasmin, alpha 2 Mx-plasmin-complex, spontaneous fibrinolysis and fibrinolysis + activator at different points in time p.op.

Results: Intraperitoneal fibrinolysis may be stimulated by local substitution of a plasminogen activator (Varidase). Systemic effects are confined to a high dose. No impaired wound healing nor increased propensity to hemorrhaging occurred.
