Trombositten Zengin Plazma Uygulamasının Deri Grefti İyileşmesi Üzerine Etkisinin Deneysel Olarak Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Objective: There is new information increasingly added about wound healing, which is one of the most complex physiological processes. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of plateletrich plasma on the wound healing process in pursuit of creation of skin defect on the back skin of the rat and application of graft to it. Material and Methods: The study was planned on 30 randomly selected inbred Sprague-Dawley rats. In the rats in the experimental group, 3x2 cm full-thickness skin defect was created after the back area was shaved. The skin taken from the defected area was thinned and turned into a full-thickness skin graft and sutured again to the area where it was taken. Platelet-rich plasma was applied under the graft to the rats in the 1st group, and physiological saline was applied to the 2nd group. The 3rd group did not undergo any surgical procedure, and it was created as the control group. Results: Significant differences were observed in glucose, lactate, glycerol, and pyruvate values in the tissue in Group 1, compared to other groups. In the histopathological evaluation, a significant decrease was detected in the rate of inflammation and edema in the Group 1, in comparison with the other groups. Conclusion: Based on the data obtained from this study, it was taken into consideration by us that platelet-rich plasma application is a method that can be applied in addition to the classical wound care, especially in the cases with wound healing problems.
