Platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of plasma containing high levels of platelets and different growth factors, involved in various cellular and regenerative processes, i.a. wound healing and tissue regeneration. Currently, due to its regenerative properties, PRP is widely used in different medical conditions. This paper summarizes knowledge about types of PRP, its preparation and current possibilities of PRP treatment in many fields of medicine with a particular emphasis on gynecology and obstetrics.
