Reducing split-thickness skin grafting donor site agony; faster healing and decreased pain-role of platelet-rich plasma
INTRODUCTION: The split-thickness skin graft harvested donor site is associated with prolonged healing, discomfort, and pain. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains platelet-derived growth factors and has been widely used in chronic wounds and skin graft donor sites. PRP application is known to acceler...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains platelet-derived growth factors and has been widely used in chronic wounds and skin graft donor sites.

The dressing was conducted on postoperative day 7, 14, and 21. The donor site healing was assessed with serial photographs and donor site pain measured by numerical rating scale.RESULTS: Complete healing of wounds (epithelialization) was present in 12 (60%) patients dressed with PRP. Pain on opening dressing was an average of 3.5 in PRP dressed wounds and 6.35 in control wounds. Patients dressed without PRP, none of them had complete epithelialization. All patients had partial healing and were less than the donor site dressed with PRP.
