Material and methods: Three different hemostatic agent; fibrin sealant Tisseel, Floseal and Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) were mixed in tubes with pancreatic fluid in equal proportions. The length of the gel aggregate of each sample which covers the pancreatic fluid in the tube was measured as mm and thereafter statistically compared.
Results: Tisseel significantly formed an intensely thicker gel than Floseal and ABS (Tisseel vs FloSeal; P
