Filter by:This study aims to determine whether microneedling or dermabrasion in the early post-operative period is superior in improving the appearance of surgical scars on the face.
Soft tissue defects can be a problem, especially in patients with high smile lines; in these clinical scenarios, the treatment with periodontal plastic surgery in combination with the use of a connective tissue graft (CTG) is considered the gold-standard procedure. Single incision technique (Huerzeler & Weng, 1999) is one of the suggested procedures to harvest the CTG from palate. The UPV/EHU technique (Aguirre-Zorzano et al, 2017) showed less inflammation and post-surgical complications than trap-door technique, but also other technique should to be analysed. However, there is still no consensus about which is the best technique to obtain this kind of graft. Therefore, clinicians should justify their choice based on the tissue's quality obtained and the patient's well-being, producing the least number of complications, such as inflammation, post-surgical pain, or recession in the donor area. HYPOTHESIS: Does the technique of obtaining an CTG of the palate using the "UPV/EHU technique" (Aguirre-Zorzano et al., 2017) result in a lower number of complications versus the "single incision technique" (Huerzeler & Weng, 1999)? OBJECTIVES The main objective is to assess whether the complications occurring with the harvesting of the CTG using the "UPV/EHU technique" (Aguirre-Zorzano et al., 2017) are lower than with the "single incision technique"(Huerzeler & Weng, 1999), knowing the patient's perception of pain. The secondary objectives are: a) necrosis of the palate, b) possible resulting recession in the donor area, and c) characteristics of the graft obtained

Termination of early pregnancy in scarred uterus with letrozole and misoprostol compared to Misoprostol alone
Split-thickness skin graft (STSG) is one of the most common procedures performed in plastic surgery and dermatology. The donor site of skin grafting is expected to heal without scarring. However, hypertrophic scar formation is prevalent among STSG donor sites during scar maturation and has become a significant problem at present. Hypertrophic scar results in aesthetic, physical, functional, and psychological problems, leading to a dramatic impact on patients' quality of life ultimately. There are many current therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating hypertrophic scars; however, they remain clinically unsatisfactory because many treatments have been associated with high recurrent rates, high cost, and side effects. Currently, there are no gold standards for hypertrophic scar therapy. There are many attempts to develop new treatment options for the prevention and management of scarring that are acceptable to both physicians and patients. It has previously been shown that both edible bird's nest (EBN) extract and sericin have effectiveness in reducing scar development. They might be a suitable alternative option for scar prevention and could be used safely. Therefore, the sericin hydrogel sheet impregnated with EBN extract is developed as it is believed that the synergism of these combined compounds would be a great help to prevent the development of scars. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sericin hydrogel sheet impregnated with EBN extract for the prevention of scar formation in patients with STSG donor sites.
The aim of this study is to compare the outcome of microneedling therapy with or without amnion bilayer sheeting on post-burn hypertrophic scar tissue. A clinical trial will be conducted with 17 samples, from September to December 2021.
Scar is an unpleasant symptom that commonly appear after orthopedic surgery, especially the joint procedure. Due to the wide motion range, skin around joint has excessive tension that may increase risk for wide or conspicuous scar formation of surgical wound. Noticeable scar can negatively impact the quality of life and psychosocial development. However, scar management is overlooked in early recovery period easily. Patients commonly start to turn their attention to the surgical scar after the completion of rehabilitation or the resolution of disease or unbearable symptom. It is always beyond the best period of scar treatment, 3 to 6 months after wound healing. This study is aimed to observe and evaluate the scar formation with or without aggressive management in pediatric population within 6 months after wound healing.
Comparison of the Efficacy of Different Steroids in the Treatment of Abnormal Scars (Keloids and hypertrophic Scars)
The objectives of this study were to evaluate efficacy and safety of silicone cream containing Allium Cepa extract in post-cesarean surgical scars treatment. Post-cesarean surgical scars were equally seperated into 2 parts (left part and right part). Silicone cream containing Allium Cepa extract or commercial scar gel was ramdomly assigned to apply on left part or right part of the scar. They will be applied 2 times per day (morning and evening) for 3 months. Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) , Vancouver scar scale (VSS), melanin index, and erythema index (using cutometer) were used for scar evaluation at 0, 1,2,and 3 months. Moreover, adverse effects were also observed.
