Keloids are an exuberant response to skin wound healing in which abundant scar tissue grows beyond the boundaries of the inciting insult. Age, race, location, family history and personal history of keloids are relevant factors concerning the risk of developing keloids. Because keloids are prone to recurrence after surgical excision, post-operative management plays an important role in the treatment of keloids. There are many modalities that can be used to treat keloids or prevent their recurrence; a multimodal approach is often necessary in difficult cases.

The efficacy of sequentially comprehensive treatment based on surgery in the treatment of keloids: a retrospective study.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of sequentially comprehensive treatment based on surgery and to furnish clinical evidence for the management of keloids.
Patients And Methods: The patients with keloids were retrospectively analyzed who underwent surgery-based sequentially comprehensive treatment at the Plastic Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2018 to August 2021. The recurrence rate and incidence of adverse reactions were explored for all the included patients.
A TriNetX Analysis of Hypertrophic Scarring Disorders, Genitourinary Strictures, and Urethroplasty Failure.

Urethral strictures and bladder neck contractures (BNCs) can be significantly morbid for patients and may require intervention for effective urinary drainage. We hypothesized patients with abnormal scarring disorders, such as keloids or hypertrophic scars, are at elevated risks of urethroplasty failure as well as postprocedural urethral strictures and BNCs. We queried the TriNetX database to determine the risk of urethroplasty failure for patients with abnormal scarring disorders compared to controls.

Several treatment modalities have been used for the treatment of keloid scarring but the optimal treatment has not yet been identified. Corticosteroids reduce excessive scarring by reducing collagen synthesis. Vitamin D can curb inflammation by inhibiting the activation and migration of leukocytes.

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department, Yeditepe University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Facial aging involves multifactorial changes affecting the bone, superficial musculoaponeurotic system, fat pads, and skin, primarily manifesting as the downward displacement of these structures. The transtemporal endoscopic deep plane face lift (TEDPF) suggests a vertical lifting method, targeting these issues without a preauricular incision.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 140 patients (133 women and 7 men) 33-67 years of age who underwent TEDPF from February 2020 to March 2023.
Development of the AIIMS Bhopal Pre-sternal Keloid Scale (ABPSKS): A Tool for Assessing Severity and Comparing Treatment Outcomes.

Pre-sternal keloids are a distinct clinicopathological entity differing in many ways from keloids occurring elsewhere, as there are differences in pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management. We have reviewed commonly used assessment scales like the Vancouver Scar Scale, the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale, and the Detroit Keloid Scale and identified some shortcomings in applying them in assessing pre-sternal keloids. Therefore, we developed the AIIMS Bhopal pre-sternal keloid scale (ABPSKS), a pre-sternal keloid-specific tool to enable the assessment of the severity of the disease, the efficacy of treatment, and the comparison of outcomes of different treatment modalities.
