Official Title: A Randomized Trial of the Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Postoperative Complications After Meningomyelocele Sac Repair
Brief Summary:
Introduction: Meningomyelocele is a common congenital neural tube defect. To reduce complications, early surgery and a multidisciplinary approach is needed. In this study, the investigators administered platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to newborns with meningomyelocele following corrective surgery to minimize cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and accelerate the healing of the immature pouch tissue. The investigators compared these with a control group that did not receive PRP.Patients and Methods: Of the 40 newborns who…
