A retrospective cohort study of early and late period postoperative scars using previously validated survey measures and clinical photographs. The target population consists of participants treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for a facial skin cancer by the division of dermatologic surgery. This study aims to determine if patient assessment of scar appearance correlates with physician ratings and/or third-person observer ratings. Secondary goals are to assess for correlations between early post-operative scar appearance and long-term scar appearance as well as identification of predictive factors for scar healing.
To compare scar infiltration with 0.5-1% Lidocaine at a dose of 3 mg/kg (max dose 300 mg) or scar deactivation with acupuncture surface release technique to determine which is more effective in reducing pain in adult patients with chronic, post-surgical pain related to the site of incision after low transverse Cesarean section compared to standard of care physical therapy with the McKenzie Method.
Surgical standard for treating traumatic burn injury scarring is to wait one year following the initial assault prior to beginning treatment. This study investigates the use of fractional ablative CO2 laser when begun within 3 months of a traumatic burn injury and it's impact on scar formation compared to the control. We hypothesized that early intervention would substantially mitigate the formation of scar tissue and help restore more normal appearing skin.
1. Test the ability of botulinum toxin type A, when injected into the surgical incision at the time of surgery, to decrease postoperative scar scores compared to control (normal saline) in a double-blinded randomized control trial. 2. Investigate the mechanism of BTXa effects of scar formation by measuring micro RNA profiles at two time points in the healing process.
The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes of patients with large scars or Cutis laxa treated with injections of autologous stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early postoperative skin surface reduction in improving scar formation after facial surgery.
Skin scarring (fibrosis) is a common complication in the wound healing process and remains a therapeutic challenge. Scar formation often occurs following injury to the skin such as surgery, trauma, and burns. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of visible red light as a modality to reduce skin scarring after mini-facelift surgery. Based on laboratory data, light emitting diode-red light (LED-RL) phototherapy may lessen post-surgical skin fibrosis clinically.
A prospective comparison between standard deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (S-DALK) performed manually using a blade (trephine) and femtosecond laser-enabled deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (IE DALK), where incisions are performed using the femtosecond laser.
All early breast cancer patients are offered adjuvant breast radiation therapy (RT) after breast conserving surgery for an early breast cancer. Breast cancer is heterogeneous, and selected patients have a very low gain from RT, whilst they still have risk of acute and late side effects from RT. This trial will try identify selection criteria for low risk breast cancer patients who can safely omit adjuvant RT without unacceptable high risk of local failure.
