Abstract
location and site of the wound. Subjective evaluation of wound healing based on the physical observations, clinical photography, wound planimetry studies were evaluated. Additionally, hematological, bacteriological, biochemical, and histopathological evaluation were done for the recipient wound bed and skin flap. A subjective analysis of vascularity of the donor site was performed through Colour flow Doppler ultrasonography. Platelet rich plasma had the supreme advantage as it offered a multiple synergistically working growth factors that promoted mitogenesis of mesenchymal cells at the wound site. Growth factors viz., transforming growth factor-b, platelet derived growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor were released after platelet degranulation led to fibroblast recruitment, proliferation and matrix remodelling which ultimately leads to good granulation tissue formation and wound healing in the cases.
