Traditionally, donor sites are left to heal with a primary dressing so wounds are not left open. However, a delay in healing accompanied by pain at a donor site is often seen. This study primarily throws light on the use of autologous PRP over split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites to promote healing and reduce pain. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The patients enrolled in this study in 2018\u20132019 were divided into two groups: the intervention group received autologous PRP applied topically at the donor site; in the control group, the wound was dressed traditionally. Pain scales were measured in the immediate postoperative period at six hours, 10 hours and 16 hours. The dressing was opened on the postoperative day 14 and observed for healing by an independent observer. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 100 patients were included in the study. Patients in the PRP group showed statistically significant faster healing at postoperative day 14 compared with the control group (p&lt;0.05), who required dressings for 3-4 weeks postoperatively. Pain scale scores in the postoperative period were significantly less in the PRP group at six hours postoperatively compared with the control group (p&lt;0.05). There was a reduced incidence of hypertrophic scar formation in the small number of patients in the PRP group who had developed hypertrophic scar previously. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Application of PRP is a safe, cost-effective and easy method to achieve faster healing in graft donor site areas that are troublesome to both patients and doctors. It also reduces postoperative pain at donor sites. The authors recommend PRP is used more often in the management of donor sites for STSGs.
