First seen Jun 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a gel made from a patient's own blood, called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), could help the nose heal better after surgery. Fourteen adults had one side of their nose treated with PRF and the other side left untreated as a comparison. Doctors checked for crusting and bleeding one week and one month after surgery to see if PRF made a difference.

What could go wrong
