Role of platelet-rich plasma in prevention of port site infection, wound healing and post-operative pain after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomised controlled trial

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in preventing infections, promoting wound healing, and reducing post-operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
• Randomised controlled trial design
• Participants undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
• Application of platelet-rich plasma at surgical sites
• Assessment of infection rates, pain levels, and wound healing outcomes
• Significant reduction in post-operative pain reported
• Improvement in wound healing observed
• Enhanced quality of scars noted
• Early reductions in infection rates identified
