[Serum proteins and their spectrum in gynecologic surgery].

1. The character of postoperative changes of serum proteins and their spectra recorded in patients operated on our clinic on account of benign gynaecological diseases corresponded with data reported in the literature. They involved: a decline of total serum proteins, a reduction of albumin and gamma-globulin levels, a rise of the alpha1, alpha2-globulin and partly also the Beta-globulin fraction. 2. The decline of the serum protein and albumin level in our patients was more prolonged than described by some other authors. 3. Changes of serum proteins were relatively marked also in patients after vaginal plastic operations. To influence in a favourable way the observed undesirable changes we ensured immediately adequate substitution of the peroperative blood loss and an increased nutrient intake during the postoperative period. The findings concerned not only to patients after abdominal operations but also those with vaginal plastic operations.
