The advent of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhancement of healing has never been treated for cleft earlobe repair. This study aims to compare and evaluate the efficacy of wound healing with and without platelet-rich plasma injection in bilateral earlobe cleft lobe repair. 50 patients presenting bilateral earlobe cleft were selected for this study. Earlobe repair (cross-stitch technique) was performed under local anaesthesia using 5-0 prolene sutures. On one side platelet-rich plasma was injected intra-dermally. Patient was followed up after 24 h, 8 and 15 days post-operatively for evaluation of pain and scar respectively.
