Immediate Postoperative Treatment of Keloids with Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Technology: A Pilot Study.

Background: The combination of surgery and postoperative radiotherapy allows for the most effective results with keloids. In this trial, surgery and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) technology were used-the hypothesis being that the earlier the application of postoperative radiotherapy, the better the wound healing evolution.

Methods: The study included 16 patients with 21 keloids.

Refinements in brow reconstruction: synergy between plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine.

Objective: The purpose of this study was the introduction in clinical practice of the combined application of traditional reconstructive surgery and intense pulsed light (IPL) for the restoration of a post-traumatic eyebrow defect.

Case: The authors present a case of surgical eyebrow reconstruction with an axial temporal hair-bearing scalp island flap. A persistent localized erythema and a marked difference in hair density in comparison with the contralateral one harmed the eventual surgical outcome.
