The effects of topical aloe vera on an experimentally designed penile fracture model in rats/Sicanlarda deneysel olarak tasarlanmis penil fraktur modelinde topikal aloe veranin etkileri

BACKGROUND: This study assessed the histopathological and oxidative effects of topical Aloe Vera (AV) on penile fractures (PF) formed experimentally in a rat model. METHODS: Forty Wistar albino rats (220-250 g) were used. The PF model was created experimentally with a number 15 lancet. Then, the rat...

Description
Summary:BACKGROUND: This study assessed the histopathological and oxidative effects of topical Aloe Vera (AV) on penile fractures (PF) formed experimentally in a rat model. METHODS: Forty Wistar albino rats (220-250 g) were used. The PF model was created experimentally with a number 15 lancet. Then, the rats were randomly and equally divided into five groups. In the first group (C), no incision was formed. In the second group (P), an incision was formed. In the third group (PR), the incision line was closed primarily. In the fourth group (PA), AV was locally applied onto the incision without suturing for three days. In the last group (PRA), AV was applied to the primary repair region for three days. All groups were compared to each other according to histopathological and biochemical data. RESULTS: Hyperemia-bleeding was observed to be suppressed in the PRA group compared to the other groups (p
