Article Synopsis
  • The keloid core excision technique reduces wound tension and improves aesthetic outcomes, but the relationship between leftover keloid tissue and recurrence risk is still uncertain.
  • A systematic review of 20 studies with 926 keloid cases was conducted, showing that adjuvant therapies like radiotherapy and steroid injections were commonly used, resulting in recurrence rates between 0% and 28.6%.
  • While the technique is generally effective with low recurrence rates when combined with other treatments, more rigorous research is needed to understand its long-term effects on keloids.

Objective: To review the research progress of the principle and clinical application of keloid core excision technique.

Methods: The literature on keloid core excision technique at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the principle, development history, indications, advantages and disadvantages of this technique were summarized, and the existing controversies were analyzed.

Results: Keloid core excision is a technique to remove the inner fibrous core from the keloid and cover the defect with the keloidal flap.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of indocyanine green angiography for mapping superficial temporal vessels to aid in the design and harvesting of forehead flaps for reconstructive surgery.
  • A retrospective analysis of 14 patients, aged 3 to 38, who underwent surgery to repair facial defects using superficial temporal artery-based flaps, is conducted over a period from 2015 to 2022.
  • Results indicate that indocyanine green angiography effectively visualized the vascular anatomy, facilitating successful reconstruction of facial soft tissue defects, with flap sizes ranging from 3 cm×2 cm to 30 cm×13 cm.

Objective: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of perforator propeller flap sequential transfer technique in repair of soft tissue defect of distal lower extremity.

Methods: Between July 2015 and July 2021, 10 patients with soft tissue defect of distal lower extremity were treated with perforator propeller flap sequential transfer technique. There were 8 males and 2 females, with a median age of 47 years (range, 6-71 years).
