Özet

Background: The clinical results of many studies on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) differ due to a lack of standardization in PRP preparation and administration as well as many variables such as PRP preparation methods, platelet concentration, and platelet activation. Objectives: The authors sought to investigate a different variable that will affect PRP application results. How much PRP should be injected into the unit area of tissue for an effective PRP treatment? Methods: The study was performed on fresh surplus tissues of 20 patients that were discarded in abdominoplasty and mammoplasty operations. Nine areas of 4 cm(2) were marked on the skin. Fluorescein-stained PRP was injected intradermally with 3 different gauge needles at 3 different doses (0.01, 0.03, and 0.05 mL). After injections, spreads of the fluorescent dye-covered areas in horizontal and vertical planes were measured and compared. For the horizontal plane measurements, the dye spread was measured first from the surface of the skin and second from the dermal surface of the skin. In addition, the width and depth of the dye spread in the dermis were measured from vertical sections. Results: Changing the needle diameter does not affect the width or depth (thickness) of the PRP spread in the dermis. Increasing the applied dose to 0.03 mL increases the spread to the width and depth (thickness). Conclusions: In research evaluating the effectiveness of PRP treatments, it is necessary to report the volume of PRP to be applied per unit of tissue.
