Clinical study shows improved scar outcomes in keloid patients receiving combined skin graft and photodynamic therapy, indicating better management of recurrence rates.
Key Points
Both treatment groups showed significant enhancements, with the combination therapy group demonstrating greater improvement in patient assessments.
The combination therapy achieved statistically significant improvements in the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scores at the 12-month follow-up.
Autologous split-thickness skin grafting paired with photodynamic therapy effectively reduced fibroblast activity and improved keloid treatment results.
This approach highlights the potential for innovative treatments to manage keloids in sensitive areas like the pubic region.
