Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells and platelet-rich plasma: basic and clinical evaluation for cell-based therapies in patients with scars on the face.

Background: Actually, autologous fat grafts have many clinical applications in breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, buttock augmentation, and Romberg syndrome as well as a treatment of liposuction sequelae.

Objective: The aim of this article was to describe the preparation and isolation procedures for stromal vascular fraction (SVF), the preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and the clinical application in the treatment of the scar on the face.

Methods: Ten patients with burns sequelae (n = 6) and post-traumatic scars (n = 4) were treated with SVF-enhanced autologous fat grafts obtained by the Celution System.

Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound evaluation after breast autologous fat grafting combined with platelet-rich plasma.

Background: Breast lipofilling is a fairly simple and safe procedure if it is performed by experienced surgeons.

Methods: The authors evaluated the radiologic findings from 24 breasts (15 women) subjected to a lipofilling procedure (two sessions) for corrective surgery or cosmetic reasons. Mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed before the first lipofilling session (T0) and 12 months after the last session (T12); ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were used 3 months after the first session (Ti) and 3 and 6 months after the last session (T3 and T6).

A comparative translational study: the combined use of enhanced stromal vascular fraction and platelet-rich plasma improves fat grafting maintenance in breast reconstruction.

The use of autologous fat grafting is ideal in breast reconstruction. However, published data on long-term outcomes and instrumental results of fat grafting to the breast are lacking. The purpose of this study was to review the authors' experience of fat grafting, evaluating the effects related to the use of enhanced stromal vascular fraction (e-SVF) and fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the maintenance of fat volume in breast reconstruction, comparing the results with a control group.

Breast reconstruction with autologous fat graft mixed with platelet-rich plasma.

Background: The purpose of this study was to review the authors' experience of fat grafting, evaluating the effects related to the use of fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the improvement of fat volume in breast reconstruction and comparing the results with a control group (only centrifuged fat grafting).

Methods: A total of 50 patients aged between 19 and 60 years affected by breast soft-tissue defects were analyzed at the Plastic and Reconstructive Department of the University of Tor Vergata. They were treated with fat grafting + PRP.

Combined use of super-oxidised solution with negative pressure for the treatment of pressure ulcers: case report.

A 61-year-old patient was affected by flaccid paraplegia for 20 years because of post-traumatic medullar injury caused by an accidental fall, with stage IV sacral pressure ulcer for 3 years. The patient later developed stage IV sacral pressure ulcer. After 6 months, a new granulation tissue formation appeared in the wound and a reduction of its diameter was observed (length 20 cm, width 15 cm, depth 5 cm).
