[Rationale for early rehabilitation of patients with uterine corpus cancer]

To study the dynamics of hemorheologic changes and the frequency of early complications of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in patients with uterine corpus cancer depending on conducting rehabilitation activities in the early postoperative period.

The number of patients with uterine corpus cancer equal 49 (mean age 54.8±2.2 years), divided into 2 comparable groups, was examined: experimental group - 23 patients, who received local magnetotherapy since the first day after surgery for 5-6 days, and control group - 26 patients without physiotherapy. Comparative group included 24 healthy women. The basic rheological parameters, namely blood viscosity at high and low shear rate, hematocrit, erythrocytes' aggregation and deformability, erythrocytes and platelets electrophoretic mobility, were evaluated in all patients initially, on the 1st and 5th days after surgery and in comparison group.

There were changes in the rheological properties of the blood before surgery in patients of both groups: increase of blood viscosity, enhancement of aggregation activity of its formed elements, decrease of erythrocytes' deformability properties. The laparoscopic radical hysterectomy was accompanied by the exacerbation of these disorders. The early magnetotherapy in patients reduced hemorheological abnormalities up to the preoperative parameters (p<0.05) for 5 days, as well as reduced the incidence of early postoperative complications by 2.4 times compared to the control group.

The application of local low-frequency low-intensity magnetotherapy since the first postoperative day allows to reduce the level of postoperative hemorheological abnormalities up to the level of preoperative parameters, as well as the frequency of early postoperative complications.
