摘要
Objective To investigate surgical methods for the removal of larger ear keloids. Methods Two different surgical techniques were used: Method A, tumour excision followed by in situ scar flap repair; and Method B, wedge resection of an auricular lesion followed by primary closure or local flap repair. After the treatment, patients received postoperative, local radiotherapy. Follow-up was for 1-3 years (median 28.9 months). Results Twenty patients with 35 large ear keloids were reviewed. In Method A, six ears were cured, three ears improved, five ears relapsed after 1 year and one ear recurred within 1 year. In Method B, 17 ears were cured, two ears improved and one ear recurred within 1 year. Conclusion Keloid scars can be effectively treated with a combination of radiotherapy and surgical excision.
