Features of skin scar healing after cesarean section in postpartum women with high risk of purulent-septic complications using autologous plasma
The present study is a randomized and controlled one evaluating the effectiveness of autologous plasma during caesarean section on the healing of a skin scar in postpartum women with a high risk of purulent-septic complications. Platelet-rich autologous plasma (PRP) has been shown to have a positive effect on wound healing and promote less keloid scarring. Repeated measures ANOVA showed statistically significant differences in wound healing by intergroup factor. The intergroup factor consisted in the use of PRP for suture treatment after cesarean section (injection of PRP into the scar area and subcutaneous tissue before suture application) in group A compared to conventional suture treatment with saline in group B. Wound healing and the condition of postoperative scars were assessed according to the wound healing scales REEDA (Redness, Ecchymosis, Discharge, Approximation) and the Vancouver VSS (Vancouver Scar Scale). Studies have shown that PRP affects improved wound healing and softer scarring (significance p < 0.05).
