At postoperative 8 months, mild degree of keloid or hypertrophic scar at marginal area of the graft was observed, suggesting the potential sign of keloid recurrence. The patient voluntarily discontinued the outpatient follow-up for 2 years, and then returned with huge keloid not only at the ...
Keloids are a controllable condition when treated with combination therapy, involving surgical excision with postoperative irradiation and early conservative treatment after the detection of recurrence. 展开 关键词: keloid radiation assessment operation ...
Should the keloid recur, the larger margins of an extralesional excision may result in a larger keloid. The bulk of the keloid should be excised while leaving a small margin of keloid, which will be closed primarily following undermining of the skin. Once hemostasis is ensured, closure can ...
The TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway is recognized as a central mediator of wound healing and scarring processes because it regulates the expression of α-SMA and promotes the deposition of collagen I and III at the wound site. Among its three isoforms (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3), ...
Furthermore, all the items of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale resulted in a statistically significant improvement of the scar (p < 0.05). Postoperative pressure therapy with the custom-made methyl methacrylate stent seems efficacious, safe, and is usable for keloids of both the ...
In total, 46.7% of patients were left with scarring, but all felt this was acceptable given the benefits of the treatment, and 80.0% of patients would have the procedure again. Four patients had spontaneous regression of warts at other body sites not treated with the CO2 laser. Conclusion....
40-90% of every deep dermis insult ends up in scar formation. Several modalities have been suggested as a treatment but a high rate of recurrence is reported in most of those interventions. High dose radiotherapy has been shown to be effective in reducing the recurrence rate. This study tried...
Main outcomes are (1) keloid formation after caesarean section and (2) changes in the appearance and specification of the keloid scar after the intervention. Discussion: We anticipate that surgical excision and steroid injection will be a safe, lasting and cost-effective treatment in the management...
