Platelet-Rich Plasma for Vocal Fold Scar: A Preliminary Report of Concept

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Platelet-Rich Plasma for Vocal Fold Scar: A Preliminary Report of Concept Via Journal of Voice Vocal fold atrophy and scar can lead to loss of normal superficial lamina propria, negatively affecting the vibratory function of the vocal fold. These changes can lead to dysphonia, vocal fatigue, decreased volume, and altered pitch. Treatment options for these conditions are limited. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) consists of platelets, growth factors, and cytokines derived from the patient's own blood and is believed to activate tissue regeneration. The purpose of this study was to review the technical aspects of collecting PRP and injecting it into the vocal fold injection – based on our initial experience with this procedure.
