platelet-rich plasma PRP regenerative medicine growth factors

TLDR PRP shows promise in tissue repair but its effectiveness in otolaryngology is still debated.

The article reviews the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in otolaryngology, highlighting its role in regenerative medicine for repairing tissues or organs damaged by trauma or degenerative conditions. PRP is an autologous plasma preparation with high platelet concentrations, offering therapeutic potential due to its ability to deliver high levels of growth factors that stimulate tissue repair. While PRP is emerging as an effective treatment in musculoskeletal therapy, its efficacy in various medical conditions remains debated, with mixed evidence supporting its use. The article aims to explore the current and future applications of PRP in otolaryngology.
