Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of bleeding complications during laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains a frequent reason for conversion. Ankaferd Blood Stopper is a unique medicinal plant extract that has historically been used as a hemostatic agent and has been approved for the management of external hemorrhage and dental surgery bleeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ankaferd as a blooding stopper; in the management of liver bed bleeding in post laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients and Methods: A total of 120 patients; 60 for each group; group A (laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cauterization of gallbladder bed of the liver) and group B (laparoscopic cholecystectomy with application of Ankaferd drops by laparoscopic injector into gallbladder bed). End points: The primary end point of the study was measurement of the intraoperative bleeding as a result of application of both techniques; ankaferd instillation and cauterization of gallbladder bed of the liver. The secondary end points were estimation of the amount and characteristics of postoperative discharge till removal of drains, length of hospital stay and postoperative wound infection. Results: The operative time in group A was 85±34.5 minutes while in group B, it was 56±20.5 minutes. The mean amount of intraoperative bleeding was 58.1±29.97 ml and 37±14.47 ml in group A&B respectively. The mean amount of postoperative fluid drainage was 41.75±12.9 ml in group A while in group B was 30±6.75 ml and the hospital stay, It was 51.6±15.35 hours for patients of group A versus 31.8 ±8.5 hours for patients of group B respectively with significant distribution {P ≤ 0.001}. Conclusion: Ankaferd rapidly achieves hemostasis allowing surgeon to control bleeding properly and therefore the amount of operative bleeding, the operative time and the amount of postoperative fluid discharge on using ankaferd is statistically reduced.
