Abstrakt:	Aim: To investigate intra-abdominal, local histopathological and hemostatic effects of Ankaferd (ABS) in an experimental liver injury. Methods: Forty rats were randomly assigned to the primary suture group (PS) (n = 15), ABS group (n = 15) and control group (n = 10). A wedge resection was performed on the left lobe of the liver. In the primary suture group, the liver was sutured with polypropylene material, while in ABS group the liver surface was covered with ABS. Adhesion, histo-pathological scores and hydroxyproline levels were measured postoperatively on day 3 and day 15. Results: The mean bleeding time was 7.5 sec shorter in the ABS group (6.5 sec-13.5 sec) and 107 sec shorter in PS group. AST, ALT, total bilirubin and ALP values complete blood count (CBC) did not change. Intra-abdominal adhesions were the same in PS and ABS groups on 3rd (2.20 +/- 1.30 vs 2.0 +/- 1.11) and 15th (1.60 +/- 0.54 vs 1.25 +/- 0.7) days postoperatively. Histopathological scores were better in the ABS group than in the primary suture group on 3rd (2.5 +/- 0.5 vs 5.25 +/- 0.2, p = 0.006) and 15th (1.65 +/- 1.7 vs 3.15 +/- 1.0, p = 0.025) days postoperatively. Hydroxyproline levels were higher in ABS group on postoperative 15th day (17.12 microg/tissue vs 13.69 microg/tissue; p = 0.005). Conclusion: These data suggest that ABS in experimental liver trauma causes favorable histopathological scores and shorter hemostasis time and higher hydroxyproline levels (Tab. 2, Fig. 2, Ref. 35).
