Platelet Rich Plasma Enhances Myringoplaey Success
Because there is still a considerable failure rate after myringoplasty, methods to enhance success of myringoplasty were recently investigated. Autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) contains a growth factors cocktail. Using PRP as enhancing material during myringoplasty of different perforation sizes was reviewed and it was found that PRP is ideal as enhancing material during myringoplasty because it is safe, autologous, easily prepared, effective and of low cost.
