Fibrinolysis activation after operation of spermatic cord.

The authors report a case of fibrinolytic haemorrhagic diathesis after operation of vas deferens carried out under epidural analgesia. Attention is called to the diagnostic difficulties in the rare complication of these operations. Treatment of fibrinolytic haemorrhagic diathesis is discussed stressing the advantages of trasylol, which is a drug of choice in emergency states associated with bleeding from the surface of the wound when difficulties arise in carrying out full blood clotting tests.
