Misdiagnosed Scrotal Arteriovenous Malformation and the Role of Clinical Assessment: A Case Report.

Vascular anomalies usually present at the beginning of life and vary in their course of progression and treatment.

Combined Stromal Vascular Fraction and Fractional CO2 Laser Therapy for Hypertrophic Scar Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Hypertrophic scars (HTSs) result from aberrant wound healing processes, leading to raised, thickened tissue with functional discomfort and cosmetic concerns. Current treatments, including corticosteroid injections and laser therapy, have limitations. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) therapy and CO2 laser treatment offer promising avenues, with SVF therapy showing regenerative potential and CO2 laser therapy promoting precise tissue removal and wound healing.
