Abstract
The author designed a study to assess hemostatic and analgetic effects of platelet rich plasma in tonsillectomy. The study was carried out on 85 patients with recurrent tonsillitis, who underwent cold dissection tonsillectomy under general anastasia. PRP in membrane form was introduced only in one randomly chosen tonssilar niche, while the other served as control. In postoperative period nine cases of tonsillar hemoragia were registered, all from control niches. Postoperative pain was evaluated by ten-grade visual-analog scales for each side separately. Pain scores reached statistical significance. There appears to be advantage to the use of PRP in tonsillectomy, but further investigations are necessary.
