Use of platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of prostatic cysts in dogs.

摘要: Abnormalities of the canine prostate gland, in particular, benign hyperplasia and cysts, are frequent dogs over 5 years age. Treatment strategies for with prostatic cysts include ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage alcohol sclerotherapy, reduction surgery, omentalization. The aim this study was to evaluate use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment dogs. Ten mixed breed adult male were included study. Percutaneous performed prior PRP injection a 21G spinal needle. dose contained half solution drained from cyst. Follow-ups 6, 12, 24, 60 d after treatment. successfully treated cystic cavities. No side effects observed during procedures. After introduction PRP, detected by ultrasound appeared hypoechoic. On sixth day, hypoechoic appearance maintained margins still identifiable. At 24-day 60-day follow-ups, no longer detectable ultrasound. One ten had be euthanized because presence malignant mesenchymal neoplasm oral cavity (fibroblastic sarcoma) histological examination serial sections gland performed. Histologic evaluation 1 year showed regression lesion injected PRP. therapy, which uses combination drainage, can considered safe effective strategy
