Autologous platelet rich plasma v/s Conventional sutures - a randomised Control trial to compare their Efficacy in anchoring split skin graft On wounds

Abstract

Introduction: Split thickness skin grafting (STSG) restores cutaneous cover over wounds thus protecting the underlying surface from contamination, fluid loss and stimulates healing. Autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) provides a large number of platelets and high concentration of growth factors which promote prompt adherence of skin graft to wound beds, angiogenesis and healing of the wound as well. AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the immediate and subsequent uptake of STSG with application of PRP over recipient site.
