Excision of Keloid without Radiotherapy
Yang Dongyun, Dongshang Med.
Objective:
Although radiotherapy can effectively control the recurrence of keloids, there are always some situations where radiotherapy is not suitable, such as in minors and glandular areas. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the feasibility of not performing radiotherapy after keloid resection.
Conclusion:
Our long-term and extensive clinical practice has confirmed that, on the premise of adequate distant tension reduction and non-invasive operations, recurrence can be effectively prevented without radiotherapy postoperatively for many keloids and most hypertrophic scars. Therefore, radiotherapy should generally be avoided for scars in minors and glandular areas.
