[Evaluation of the immunoreactivity of patients operated on under anesthesia]

The investigation has been performed in 24 male patients with posttraumatic strictures of the urethra operated under peridural anesthesia. The immunological status was studied at different steps of the surgical treatment. It has been established that all the patients examined had an initial disturbance of both cellular and humoral immunity. The peridural anesthesia fails to exercise an immunosuppressive effect upon the patient's organism.
