WHAT’S NEW? (what does this study contribute to the
literature?):
To the best of our knowledge, there are no in vivo studies on the
anti-adhesion effect of lycopene. The need for in vivo studies was

subject (1). Therefore, it is thought that
this molecule is worth studying in the prevention of adhesions and will
contribute to the literature as the first in vivo study. In this
observational rat study, we investigated the effectiveness of lycopene
use in preventing adhesions after gynecological surgery
