Abstract

Keloid scars may cause a range of symptoms and aesthetic problems. The ear is one of the most frequent sites of keloids, and the earlobe and ear helix account for more than 80% of ear keloids. There are various surgical methods for removing keloids in the ear. Standard keloidectomy and core excision can be effective surgical methods compared to wedge resection since they preserve normal tissue surrounding the keloid. However, ears often show various types of asymmetry by default, which can be relatively difficult to detect, so wedge resection continues to be a useful surgical method for ear keloids. Here, we report four cases of keloids in the earlobe and ear helix that were successfully treated by wedge resection without a postoperative deformity or recurrence.
耳内瘢痕疙瘩楔形切除的病例系列:以美学方面为重点
瘢痕疙瘩会引起一系列的症状和审美问题。耳朵是瘢痕疙瘩最常见的部位之一,耳垂和耳螺旋占耳朵瘢痕疙瘩的80%以上。有多种手术方法可以去除耳内的瘢痕疙瘩。与楔形切除相比,标准瘢痕疙瘩切除术和核心切除术是有效的手术方法,因为它们保留了瘢痕疙瘩周围的正常组织。然而,耳朵通常默认表现出各种类型的不对称,这可能相对难以检测,因此楔形切除仍然是耳瘢痕疙瘩的有效手术方法。在这里,我们报告了四个耳垂和耳螺旋瘢痕疙瘩的病例,他们成功地通过楔形切除治疗,没有术后畸形或复发。
