[Influence of gynecologic surgery on the blood concentration of adenosine phosphate].

Blood concentrations of ATP, ADP and AMP studied before and immediately after incomplicated gynecologic surgery due to not malignant indications showed the following changes: 1. The initial blood concentration values ranged within the physiological limits and were not therefore essentially influenced by gynecologic diseases. 2. There was a short-term non significant increase of ATP blood concentrations after the operation. 3. After more extensive surgical operations there was a significant short-term decrease of ADP and AMP concentrations that however, approached pre-operation values within 24 hours. 4. The values of ATP/ADP and ATP/AMP coefficients increased significantly after the operation but decreased again within 24 hours. It may be concluded that gynecologic surgery itself as well as attendant circumstances do not induce metabolic changes unfavorably influencing the adenosinephophate system in the blood.
