Objective:To explore the clinical effect of immediate postoperative radiotherapy combined with skin streth reduction for recurrent chest keloids.Methods:Sixty patients were divided into two groups,34 cases were treated with immediate postoperative radiotherapy combined with skin tension reduction in the tension reduction group.26 cases in the control group were treated only with immediate postoperative radiotherapy.The patients were followed up for 6 months to 1 year.The scar width and degree of hypertrophy were compared between the two groups,and the Vancouver Scar Scale was scored to observe its clinical effect.Results:After treatment,the scores of VSS in the tension reduction group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Immediate postoperative radiotherapy combined with external skin tension-reducing device can improve the treatment effect of recurrent chest keloids,with good cosmetic effect and low recurrence rate,which is worthy of clinical application. |
