Satisfacción de pacientes con cicatrices atróficas de acné tratados con láser ablativo y/o técnicas quirúrgicas / Satisfaction of patients with atrophic acne scars treated with ablative laser and / or surgical techniques

Las cicatrices atróficas constituyen una complicación frecuente del acné vulgar. Existen múltiples tratamientos quirúrgicos, aunque ninguno ha demostrado ser satisfactorio. Se realizó un estudio transversal retrospectivo de 47 pacientes con cicatrices atróficas de acné intervenidos mediante Cirugía Punch (CP) y/o Láser CO2 10.600 nm (LCO), a quienes se aplicó un cuestionario validado entre Abril y Septiembre de 2014. El 63,8 por ciento recibió tratamiento solo con LCO, el 10,6 por ciento solo con CP y el 25,6 por ciento recibió ambos tratamientos. Respecto al grado de satisfacción, el 9 por ciento refirió un puntaje de 10 luego del procedimiento, el 32 por ciento entre 7-9, el 43 por ciento entre 4-6 y un 17 por ciento entre 0-3. El 66 por ciento de los pacientes refirió que los efectos se mantienen en el tiempo y el 21 por ciento reportó efectos adversos. El tratamiento quirúrgico de las cicatrices atróficas de acné con técnicas como CP y/o LCO consigue grados de satisfacción moderados, con efectos mantenidos a largo plazo y escasos efectos adversos.
