ABSTRACT
The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the potential effects on the healing of colorectal anastomoses of the rectal administration of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS). Thirty Wistar-Albino male rats were randomly separated into 3 groups. In the sham group, only laparotomy and colonic mobilization was performed. In the other 2 groups, colon transection and anastomosis were carried out. Saline (2 mL, 0.9% NaCl) was given rectally via a feeding tube for 10 days after the surgical procedure in the sham and control groups. In Group 3 (ABS group), the rats were treated with rectally administered ABS (2 mL/day) for 10 days. In all groups, after the measurement of bursting pressures, tissue samples were collected for the measurement of tissue hydroxyproline and prolidase levels, and for histopathological evaluation on postoperative day 11. The rectal administration of ABS showed positive effects on bursting pressures, tissue prolidase and hydroxyproline levels, and the histopathological findings of colonic anastomosis. The rectal application of ABS had positive effects on the healing of colorectal anastomosis. As a natural product, it may be used effectively and safely to achieve better healing results after colorectal anastomosis.
