Introduction: Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) application play important roles in the healing process by increasing basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) secretion. This research assesses the effect of combined SVF and PRP local injection on bFGF levels, using an anal trauma model in Wistar rats.
Method: Twenty-eight adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups.
Background: The healing process of burns includes coagulation, inflammation, and remodeling. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is involved throughout this healing process. Stem cells from the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) can increase concentrations of growth factors, including VEGF.

The increase in this growth factor is expected to accelerate the healing of burns. This study aims to determine the effect of giving a combination of SVFs and PRP on TGF-β levels in the healing process of deep dermal burns.
