A comparative clinical study of partial thickness mesh skin grafts with and without addition of platelet rich plasma in dogs

Abstract

The objective of this study was to reconstruct the skin defects with partial thickness mesh skin grafts and to compare the efficacy of platelet rich plasma along with skin grafting. The present study was performed on ten dogs with twelve wounds which were unamenable to primary closure. All the wounds were reconstructed with partial thickness mesh skin grafting technique in which six wounds were assigned to group-I and remaining were similarly reconstructed followed by injection of platelet rich plasma were assigned to group-II. It was concluded from the present study that, partial thickness mesh skin grafting procedure showed good results for correction of skin defects. The group II wounds showed early primary healing with no difference in graft viability.

Investigation of the Effects of Micromeria congesta Essential Oil Extract on Wound Healing in Rabbits and Molecular Genetics Applications

“…Healing of skin wounds is a complicated series of biological events that involves completion of the intertwined stages of hemostasis and inflammation, proliferation, maturation and remodeling (Gonzalez et al, 2016;Wang and W indbergs, 2017;Preethi et al, 2018). In vivo and in vitro studies have determined that plants increase wound recovery as topical antimicrobial substances and they do this by the fibroblast growth effects of the terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins and saponins in their chemical composition (Budovsky et al, 2015;Ribeiro et al, 2015, Agyare et al, 2016, Slobodníková et al, 2016Yamani et al, 2016).…”
