The Physical and Psychological Outcomes of Using PRF as Surgical Method of Reconstruction Inferior Orbital Wall

Abstract

In our study, blood was obtained from patients intraoperatively and fibrin membranes were prepared for further use as a surgical material. PRF membranes met our scientific expectations, as they proved in our practice that they shortened period and also created comfort while moving the eyeball after surgery, in comparison with a similar classical method for treating injuries of the zygomatico-orbital complex.

Nowadays, there are a number of studies on the healing processes, aimed mainly at identifying the growth factors involved in them, elucidating their mechanism of action, as well as the possibility of using them to improve wound healing. [1] Today, the use of PRF is one of the few methods to modulate and improve tissue healing. [2] However, we have not come across scientific papers on the use of PRF in trauma (PIR). [3] Therefore, the use of fibrin plates in (SOC) has the prospect of scientific research, which gives a positive therapeutic effect.

Although the use of PRF is a studied model, the use of PRF in combination with a titanium plate in restoring the integrity of the inferior wall of the orbit is a breakthrough in the field of medicine. [4]

In our experience, the use of PRF contributed to a reduction in the length of stay of patients in the hospital, we were able to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and improve the motor ability of the extraocular muscles in the postoperative period, [5] since the installation of titanium plates without fibrin membranes on the lower wall of the orbit often led to the situation when patient felt discomfort when moving the eyes.
