Study Overview
Brief Summary
To assess the use of Suprathel 250 for mucosal reconstruction in oropharyngeal defects. The membrane will be applied after tonsillectomy procedures and compared to bare wounds' healing
Detailed Description
After tonsillectomy procedures, the wound is usually left bare to heal. This causes severe pain postoperatively and postoperative hemorrhage. Suprathel 250 is a synthetic biodegradable PLA membrane which is proven as a skin membrane in burn wounds with excellent result. We therefore hypothesize that the use of Suprathel 250 after tonsillectomy procedures will allow for faster , less painful healing of the wound bed which allows for a better quality of life for the patients.
