BACKGROUND

While some studies have shown the favorable efficacy of punch therapy for keloids, the effectiveness and safety of punch excision combined with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injection were uncertain. Here, we conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate the effectiveness and safety of punch excision combined with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and 5-fluorouracil injection for keloids.

CONCLUSION

Punch excision combined with intralesional TAC and 5-FU injection is a promising therapeutic approach for keloids, achieving enhanced efficacy, minimized long-term adverse effects, and improved quality of life.
