Regenerative Wound Healing by Open Grafting of Autologous Fat and PRP-Gel - A New Concept and Potential Alternative to Flaps.

A new regenerative technique is described that enabled in situ formation of soft tissue bridge for difficult wounds, which otherwise needed flaps, resulting in complete healing in 3/3 cases. The wounds were debrided till healthy bleeding and covered with a triple-layer matrix of platelet-rich fibrin gel, condensed liposuctioned autologous fat, and porous collagen dressing. Negative pressure wound therapy was applied after 48 hours for 4-5 days in 2 cases and after 11 days for 3 weeks in the third case.
