| Abstract | ||||
| Background:Cleft lip and palate are considered as one of the most common congenital anomalies. One of the challenging problems in wound healing that occur after surgical repair of cleft palate is wound dehiscence and fistula formation.Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of autologous platelets and plasma that has recently tried to prevent these complications. Aim of Study: Evaluate the outcome of the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma in primary repair of cleft palate. Patients and Methods: Twenty patients were classified into two groups Group A was the control group.It included ten patients had cleft secondary palate and was operated up on without intraoperative use of plasma-rich plasma Group B was the study group.It included ten patients had cleft secondary palate and was operated up on with intraoperative injection of plasma-rich plasma Results: By comparing the baseline and operative data between cases with and without fistula, it was found that,there is non-significant difference regarding age, gender,Post palate shelf gap and side of cleft palate (p value >0.05). By comparing the post-operative data between studied groups, it was found that, there was significant difference between the studied groups regarding the incidence of wound dehiscence, wound infection,fistula and Regurgitation of fluid from nose (p value <0.05) with better outcome in study group. Conclusion:concomitant intraoperative injection of PRP during palatal repair was found to be adventigious in reducing the incidence of fistula formation and it requires more time to assess whether further surgery is necessary or if the fistula can be managed with conservative treatment. | ||||
