AbstractAim: Skin grafting is a commonly done procedure in plastic surgery. One of the complications that the surgeon is worried about is skin graft failure. Various precautions have been described to prevent this complication. We would like to discuss the role of autologous platelet rich plasma in skin grafting.
Methods: Skin grafting was done for the raw area over the back post electrical burns. Intraoperatively, single injection of 2 ml APRP given to the Skin grafts.
Result: The Skin grafts were healthy, with well healed scars.
Conclusions: We proposed that APRP can be used in application of skin grafts. However, large randomized control trials are required for establishing its role.
Keywords: APRP; Skin grafts; Failure.
