Blood-Based bandage may cut surgery complications in rare bladder condition
NCT ID NCT07294612
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special material made from a child's own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), can reduce complications after surgery for a rare bladder condition called bladder exstrophy. Twenty children having their first bladder repair surgery were split into two groups: one received PRF applied to the surgical site, and the other had standard surgery alone. The main goal was to see if PRF lowered the chance of developing a fistula (an abnormal opening) after surgery.
