Introduction:
Platelet rich plasma is a product obtained from vein whole blood sample, with a high concentration of growth factors, which have been reported to be beneficial for tissue regeneration. In the last few years, several assays that pretend to demonstrate the efficacy of platelet rich plasma in many disciplines, including urology, have been published.
Aim And Methods:
The aim of this assay is to develop a bibliographic review of the publications available about platelet rich plasma and urology. The search was based on PubMed database.
Conclusions:
Platelet rich plasma has demonstrated to be a safe and easy to obtain product, and it has also shown promising results in terms of efficacy in urology. However, it is necessary to conduct large, placebo-controlled, studies that can confirm or deny the effectiveness of platelet rich plasma before it can be used on urological conditions.
