Abstract

Purpose: This prospective double-blind randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the benefits of PRP therapy in enhancing wound healing, reducing post-operative bleeding, and alleviating pain in patients undergoing tonsillectomy. By comparing the outcomes of tonsillectomy wounds treated with PRP versus saline.

Methods: The study included 30 patients undergoing tonsillectomy, who were randomly assigned to receive PRP injections on one side and saline injections on the other side at the wound base. Pain levels, wound healing characteristics, and surgical complications such as bleeding were assessed for 28 days post-surgery.

Results: In this study, there were no cases of post-operative bleeding in the surgical wounds on both sides of all patients. The pain level of the side injected with PRP is statistically significantly lower than the control side from the first day to the 5th day after surgery, there is no statistically significant difference in the pain level between both groups after the 6th day after surgery. The side injected with PRP had significantly faster re-epithelialization on days 7 and 14 post-surgery.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential benefits of using PRP in promoting wound healing and reducing pain after tonsillectomy. The findings indicate that PRP injections can be a safe and effective treatment option for patients undergoing tonsillectomy.

富血小板血浆(PRP)治疗减少扁桃体切除术后疼痛和出血。
目的:本前瞻性双盲随机对照试验旨在评估PRP治疗在促进扁桃体切除术患者伤口愈合、减少术后出血和减轻疼痛方面的益处。通过比较PRP与生理盐水治疗扁桃体切除伤口的效果。方法:本研究纳入30例扁桃体切除术患者,随机分为创面一侧注射PRP,另一侧注射生理盐水。术后28天评估疼痛水平、伤口愈合特征和手术并发症(如出血)。结果:本组患者均无双侧手术创面术后出血。术后第1天至第5天,注射PRP一侧疼痛水平明显低于对照组,术后第6天后两组疼痛水平差异无统计学意义。注射PRP的一侧在术后第7天和第14天的再上皮化速度明显加快。结论:本研究证明了PRP在促进扁桃体切除术后伤口愈合和减轻疼痛方面的潜在益处。研究结果表明,PRP注射对于扁桃体切除术患者是一种安全有效的治疗选择。
