Implication

Retrospective analysis showed over 94% size reduction in keloids with high patient satisfaction, indicating intralesional cryosurgery's effectiveness.

Key Points

A keloid size reduction of at least 50% was achieved in 46 out of 49 lesions, with a notable 63.3% reaching an ≥80% reduction.
Patient satisfaction scores were high, reflecting positive experiences in overall satisfaction, symptom relief, and willingness to repeat treatment.
The method involved intralesional cryosurgery over multiple sessions, successfully treating resistant ear keloids in a population that previously failed other therapies.
Recurrence rates were low at 6.1% in the follow-up period, supporting cryosurgery's promise as a long-term solution for keloids.
