PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) was very beneficial to my hip replacement surgery and recovery. It reduced and at times eliminated my pain. I felt confident that because of the PRP post-op infection was minimalized. It allowed me to return to work in 6 weeks, instead of the usual 8 weeks. Charlie

As a patient who received platelet gel during a hysterectomy, I can honestly say that, after I left the hospital, I did not even fill my prescription for pain medication. I might have taken two over the counter Advil when I came home. I had virtually no bleeding, either. With the obvious remarkable job of a skilled surgeon and the application and use of the platelet gel, also by skilled hands, my recovery was uneventful and short. If given the choice, I would definitely ask for platelet gel with any future surgeries. Cindy

I have had several surgeries in the past for ovarian cysts. Every one of them, I had pain and nausea upon awakening and soreness for several days afterward. I had seen the application of platelet gel several times while working in the OR and Tonya approached me about considering it for application with my LAVH/BSO. I thought I would give it a try, since I am a lightweight when it comes to pain. Upon awakening from surgery, I had mild nausea and pain as compared to surgeries in the past. I was given a couple of doses of Dilaudid and some Phenergan for the nausea. My pain quickly resolved. I remained in the hospital overnight and never took anything for breakthrough pain (was on a continuous Dilaudid PCA at a low dose). At time of discharge, I was given a prescription for Percocet. I never took the first one while recovering at home. I had a more pleasant experience with this surgery as compared to the several ovarian cystectomies I had in the past. If I had to rate the average pain after the previous surgeries, I would probably rate it at about a 4-5. After the LAVH, I had very little or no pain, with an average rating of a 1. Also, Dr. Denton commented at my post op visit at how nicely my vaginal cuff had healed. I would highly recommend the application of platelet gel as it is appropriate in the GYN surgical setting.

I was very fortunate to have been a candidate for BMAC therapy. I suffered for some time with pain 4 out of 10 at it’s best. At times, I could barely walk and I had many sleepless nights. I had the BMAC therapy done 2 years ago this December at Fannin Regional Hospital by Dr. Douglas Nuelle. There has been no further deterioration and most importantly, the pain I was experiencing is gone!

If you are the right candidate I would highly recommend this very minor procedure. Mary, Blue Ridge Ga

Dear Scott,

I wanted to report that I am still using platelet gel that you have been providing for me for several years at Fannin Regional Hospital. I have been using it most often in septal surgery which avoids the need for packing the nose. When the septal correction is completed, the platelet gel is instilled between the mucosal leaves of the septum and then compressed for 90 seconds for the platelet gel to set which works beautifully. There have been no instances of septal hematoma following this technique. There have be no instances of hemorrhages or bleeding and all the cases have done beautifully. I am delighted with the use of Platelet gel for this purpose. I have also been using platelet gel in plastic surgery when flaps are rotated or advanced to help avoid the need of pressure dressings and the results have been excellent for this use as well. The studies that show that platelet gel improves healing is also very encouraging. We are very pleased to have this technology available.

Sincerely,
Hamilton S. Dixon, M.D.

I have been using platelet gel routinely for the last 5 years. I have used it on skin grafts, tissue with comprised healing ability and mastectomy sites.

I was the most impressed with the healing provided for my mastecotmy patients with platelet gel. I was able to reduce from 2 drains for a mastectomy site to a single drain and then for the last 3 years I have not used any drains. The application of the platelet gel to the mastectomy wound bed significantly reduces the seroma formation to allow for this change to not using post op drains.

The service provided by Mrs. Nuelle and her staff has been exemplary. Tim Walker, Blue ridge Surgical.
