Introduction Venous thromboembolic complications after abdominoplasty are associated with increased intraabdominal pressure and altered venous return without taking into account possible changes in the activity of the blood coagulation system.Purpose of work was to evaluate the state of the plasma hemostasis system in the early postoperative period in patients after abdominoplasty.Materials and methods The study included 100 patients who underwent aesthetic abdominoplasty. Prothrombin (PT), fibrinogen (FG), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), soluble fibrin-monomer complexes (SFMC), euglobulin clot lysis (ECL), antithrombin-III (AT-III), and protein C (PrC) levels were evaluated before surgery, immediately after surgery, on the first, third and fifth days after surgery. Statistical data analysis was performed using SPSS 16, Excel 2010 for Windows, using the Kruskal - Wallis criterion.Results Coagulation hemostasis was characterized by a decrease in PT immediately after the surgery and on the first day by 13.9 and 5.3, and an increase in PT on the third and fifth days by 12.3 and 15.5 (p < 0.001), decrease in FG on the first, third and fifth days by 0.49 g/L, 2.34 g/L, and 2.04 g/L, respectively (p < 0.001). SFMC increased at all postoperative stages by 4.7, 8.2, 10.8, and 10.0 times (p < 0.001). Inhibition of XII-dependent fibrinolysis was characterized by an increase in ECL time on the first, third and fifth days by 2.8, 9.7, and 6.3 minutes, respectively (p < 0.001). AT-III and PrC levels decreased immediately after the surgery by 18.8 and 8.9, on the first day by 14.2 and 11.2, and on the third day by 8.8 and 6.3 respectively (p < 0.001).Discussion Activation of blood coagulation processes with imbalance of coagulation, anticoagulation, and fibrinolytic systems create conditions for venous thrombosis formation after abdominoplasty, which substantiates the necessity of VTE pharmacoloprophylaxis for at least five days.Conclusion In the early postoperative period abdominoplasty is accompanied by activation of plasma coagulation, inhibition of fibrinolytic system activity and reduction of natural anticoagulant activity.
