Use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in microsurgery

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is currently used for its property to improve tissue regeneration and wound healing. Platelet derived growth factors are involved in tissue regeneration and new vessels formation that could improve a free flap survival. Nevertheless to validate the use of regenerative medi...

Description
Summary:Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is currently used for its property to improve tissue regeneration and wound healing. Platelet derived growth factors are involved in tissue regeneration and new vessels formation that could improve a free flap survival. Nevertheless to validate the use of regenerative medicine in microsurgery further large and robust human clinical trials are needed.
