Abstract

The study investigated the impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) on coagulation and fibrinolytic activities and its effectiveness in the prevention of pelvic adhesion after myomectomy. Thirty-two infertile women underwent myomectomy followed by adhesion evaluation surgery with a second-look laparoscopy. Before myomectomy, 15 women were treated with triptorelin acetate for 3 months and 17 received no treatment. Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), protein C (PC), plasminogen, α2-antiplasmin were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and the activity of coagulation factors V and VIII by coagulometric methods. Patients treated with GnRH-a showed significant decrease in PAI, TAFI, factors V, and VIII (P
