Platelet Rich Plasma as an Adjunct Therapy at the Time of Transvaginal Native Tissue Prolapse Surgery

Description

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product with high levels of platelets which are concentrated with bioactive growth factors responsible for accelerating tissue healing by stimulating the number of reparative cells to create collagen production, angiogenesis and neurogenesis. The overarching goal is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the adjunct application of PRP in the fibromuscular connective tissue (the site of anterior tissue plication) at the time of anterior colporrhaphy (the site of highest recurrence risk) in women undergoing native tissue vaginal prolapse repair, to promote tissue healing and regeneration, thus to improve surgical outcomes.
