Postoperative radiotherapy in the management of keloids
BACKGROUND The high recurrence rate following keloid resection has generated interest in adjuvant treatments for this disease. OBJECTIVE This study assesses keloid recurrence when treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. METHODS Retrospective analysis of resected keloids in patients referred to a Chilean radiation oncology centre between 2006 and 2013. Local recurrence was defined as...
متن کاملZ-Plasty Made Simple
A Z-plasty is a critical and reliable technique that is useful for scar revisions and correction of free margin distortion. A Z-plasty can help lengthen a contracted scar, change the direction of a scar so that it is better aligned with the relaxed skin tension lines, or interrupt and break a scar for better camouflage. This article will review the technique of a basic Z-plasty as well as provi...
متن کاملPostoperative Electron Beam Radiotherapy for Keloids: Treatment Outcome and Factors Associated with Occurrence and Recurrence
BACKGROUND In the treatment of keloids, the recurrence after surgical excision is relatively high. Various types of adjuvant therapy such as radiotherapy and corticosteroid injection have been used to reduce the recurrence. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate time for initiating postoperative radiotherapy and to analyze factors associated with the occurrence and r...
متن کاملZ-DOC: A Serious Game for Z-Plasty Procedure Training
We present Z-DOC, a (prototype) serious game for training plastic surgery residents the steps comprising the Z-plasty surgical procedure. Z-DOC employs touch-based interactions and promotes competition amongst multiple players/users thus promote engagement and motivation. It is hypothesized that by learning the Z-plasty procedure in an interactive, engaging, and fun gaming environment, trainees...
متن کاملTopology, Geometry, and Mechanics of Z-Plasty.
Reconstructive surgeries often use topological manipulation of tissue to minimize postoperative scarring. The most common version of this, Z-plasty, involves modifying a straight line cut into a Z shape, followed by a rotational transposition of the resulting triangular pedicle flaps, and a final restitching of the wound. This locally reorients the anisotropic stress field and reduces the poten...
