INTRODUCTION-AIM: The easiest method in postoperative analgesia is the infiltration of the wound with local anesthetic drugs. Although many local anesthetic drugs have been used for this type of infiltration, studies on levobupivacaine are rare. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different concentrations of levobupivacaine infiltration on wound healing. ⋯ We have concluded that levobupivacaine used in clinical doses have a significant effect on the fastening of wound healing and this effect increases with an increase in the concentration of the levobupivacaine. We believe that levobupivacaine will be more widely preferred in the near future in the postoperative analgesia.
