Cord Blood Platelet-Rich Plasma in Cesarean Section Wound Management.

ABSTRACT: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) promotes the wound-healing process and reduces pain. Cord blood platelet-rich plasma (CB-PRP), which can be easily collected from the umbilical cord and reapplied to a cesarean section wound, has been proposed to have similar effects as PRP. This paper hypothesizes that CB-PRB would provide beneficial effects in terms of wound healing and pain reduction in women undergoing cesarean section. This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 52 pregnant women who underwent cesarean sections. Participants were assigned to either the intervention group (n = 26) or the control group (n = 26) at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of Police General Hospital.
