Effect comparison between laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy surgery on coagulation function in patients with gastric cancer

Obj ective To investigate the effects of laparoscopic surgeryon coagulation func-tion in patients with gastric cancer.Methods A total of 71 patients with gastric cancer were divid-ed into laparoscopic group and laparotomy group.Levels of D-dimer (D-D)and fibrinogen (FIB), prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)were detected before opera-tion,end of operation and 24 hours after operation.Prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (INR)was calculated and coagulation function was observed in both groups.Results There were no significant differences in APTT and INR before and after operation in both groups (P>0 .05 ). PT at 24 hours after operation was significantly shorter than that before operation(P<0 .05 ),but there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0 .05 ).Levels of FIB and D-D in-creased after operation,and there were significant differences between two groups (P<0 .05 ). Conclusion Blood hypercoagulability and potential thrombosis are associated with patients with la-paroscopic surgery or laparotomy surgery.Preventions during preoperative period should be conduct-ed to mitigate the effects of laparotomy surgery on coagulation function.
