The goal of the launched studies was to analyse, on an experimental model, the histophysiological properties of the segments of the rat's uterine horns after end-to-end anastomoses by the microsurgery technique. Sexually mature females of the laboratory Winster strain were used. Eight weeks after the uterine horns were ligated for sterilization, reanastomosomes were performed. One group of animals was given hydrocortisone for 8 days postoperatively. The results of the observation of the sites of anastomosis has shown that the use of the microsurgery technique allows an almost ideal reconstruction of the cut segments. The absence of chronic interstitial changes in the endometrium, a decreased presence of connective-muscular tissues within the stroma and the RES system cells in animals having received hydrocortisone in relation to those who have not -- all this indicates that the postoperative use of hydrocortisone decreases both the "reactive" growth of the connective tissue and the RES system cells.
