To investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the healing of nasal mucosa after surgery of the nose.

This prospective, randomized, Comparative Analytic study was conducted on 40 patients. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: Group A, subjected to PRP, and Group B, who were not subjected to PRP after nasal surgery. The outcome of both Techniques was analyzed and compared.

Significant differences were found in dryness, encrustations, and postoperative healing days in the PRP group. However, no significant differences between the two groups were observed in primary bleeding, secondary bleeding, nasal synechiae, pain, healing time, return to physical activity, and patient satisfaction.
