Reproductive function after reconstructive surgery on rat uterine horns.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effectiveness of tuboplasty procedures employing fibrin glue.


METHODS
Experimental tuboplasty operations were performed on 63 rats using biological glues (fibrin glue--"Beriplast" Behring; "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.


CONCLUSIONS
We confirmed the effectiveness of fibrin glue application in reconstructive surgery on uterine horns, and documented no significant differences between microsuture and sutureless anastomoses with regard to pregnancy rates (80 and 83.3%, respectively).
