Study summary

In this study investigators are trying to determine the benefits of using platelet enriched plasma during the second stage of auricular reconstruction. The intervention will be blinded to the surgeon and the surgical team. The main outcome will be the evaluation of the integration rate of the skin full thickness graft used to coat the auricular frame.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    PEP-Arm

    In this arm, surgeon will be applying platelet enriched plasma(PEP) (5 ml) during the second stage procedure of auricular reconstruction. PEP will be infected in the temporal fascia used to cover the cartilage frame.

    Procedure: Platelet enriched plasma administration

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo-Arm

    This arm will be used as control. The surgeon will inject 0.9% saline solution (5ml) in a blinded basis.

    Procedure: Placebo Arm

Interventions

  • ProcedurePlatelet enriched plasma administration

    It is a blinded administration of platelet enriched plasma in the temporal fascia used to cover the auricular reconstruction frame, during the second stage of the procedure. The use of platelet enriched plasma is focused to improve the integration rate of the full-thickness split skin graft

  • ProcedurePlacebo Arm

    5 ml of saline 0.9%will be applied in the temporal fascia as a placebo used to compare to the experimental group.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Integration rate (in percentage) of the full thickness split graft sued during the second stage of auricular reconstruction.

    Evaluation of the integration will be made on clinical basis, and evaluated by 3 experimented plastic surgeons.

    Time frame: evaluation will be at day 10

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complication

    It refers to a deviation from the normal course of the pathology, 3 complications will be taken into account: infection, seroma and hematoma

    Time frame: evaluation will be at day 10

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 22, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
