Effects of topical application of platelet-rich plasma on esophageal stricture and oxidative stress after caustic burn in rats: Is autologous treatment possible?

Experimental rat study evaluating topical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) application to prevent esophageal stricture formation after caustic NaOH burn. Results demonstrate PRP reduces stenosis index, improves weight gain, and modulates oxidative stress markers compared to untreated burn controls, suggesting potential for autologous treatment in pediatric caustic injury.
