PRPS has a long-term clinically proven beneficial effect in treating these poorly healing wound problems. Visit the surgical specialist in the IJsselland Hospital Rotterdam to learn more.
Peri-anal fistula
Badly healing wounds, the peri-anal fistula
A pioneering study was carried out in collaboration with the IJsselland Hospital in Rotterdam into the effect of PRS on the possible repair of a returning fistula. These poorly healing wounds around the anus opening create a major problem that is still taboo. After all, the classic operations only yielded a 55% cure.
During the classical fistula excision, PRP was also made from blood and SVF from subcutaneous tissue at the same time.
Instead of 55%, of the first 18 patients with a fistula, 89% were completely cured!
When reexamined after 6 months and 12 months with MRI, they were completely healed and only normal skin was visible without 1 trace of scar tissue! This link will refer you to the scientific paper published in 2020.
Longer-term studies are, of course, needed (and are currently being conducted) before a final judgment on this new approach can be made.
