title: [Prevention of complications following abdominal surgical urologic interventions by plasma protein substitutes].
abstract: A prospective randomised trial in 94 patients undergoing urological abdominal surgery has been carried out to evaluate the effect of postoperatively administered plasma proteins. A significant difference between the treatment group and the control group has been found in the incidence of bronchopulmonary complications. This may be due to the substitution of Alpha-1 antitrypsin as could be shown by determination of the activity of Alpha-1 antitrypsin levels. A positive trend but no significant differences could be demonstrated for wound healing and the need of antibiotics postoperatively.
