RESUMEN
Objective:To observe the effect of continuous shaping and compression in the comprehensive treatment of auricle keloids.Methods:From June 2018 to April 2020, 40 patients with auricular keloids (53 ears) admitted to the Plastic Surgery Department of Henan Provincial People＇s Hospital were divided into surgical injection group (20 cases, 27 ears) and surgical injection compression group (20 cases, 26 ears) according to the treatment method. The patients were followed up for more than 18 months continuously; the clinical efficacy, satisfaction with auricle morphology, and the occurrence of infection and recurrence were observed in the two groups.Results:The effective rate of surgical injection compression group (24 ears, 92.31%) was higher than that of surgical injection group (16 ears, 59.26%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.121, P<0.05). The Vancouver scar scale (VSS) scores of the two groups at 6 months and 12 months after treatment were significantly lower than that before treatment, and the VSS score of the surgical injection compression group was lower than that of the surgical injection group, the difference was also statistically significant ( P<0.05). The satisfactory rate of the surgical injection compression group (22 ears, 84.62%) was higher than that of the surgical injection group (13 ears, 48.15%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.048, P<0.05). The recurrence rate of the surgical injection compression group was significantly lower than that of the surgical injection group (χ 2=5.779, P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the infection rate between the two groups of patients after treatment (χ 2=0.001, P>0.05). Conclusions:Surgical resection of auricle keloids combined with local injection of corticosteroids and local shaping and compression can significantly improve the clinical efficacy, maintain the shape of the auricle, and the therapeutic effect is satisfactory.
