Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is the only available product that contains concentrated levels of your naturally occurring growth factors.  These growth factors are maintained in precisely the same ratios found circulating in your body.  White blood cells are concentrated as well which help fight infection.  Cytokines which are also concentrated communicate with your own body's immune system to assist in microdebridement of the wound/surgical site from the inside out.  Vasoconstrictive properties reduce swelling and edema at the surgical site which increases circulation.  Knowing this and applying this biotechnoloy to patient specific senarios related to target tissues involved and the patient's platelet count PRP can be applied to assist the patient to heal regardless of type of surgery being performed.
