KELOID MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES PRACTISED IN A TERTIARY CARE PRIVATE HOSPITAL IN INDIA

Dr Ramkumar R.

Abstract :

Keloids are common cases in a Plastic Surgery Practice. Management of commonly occurring keloids in a Plastic Surgery practice in a tertiary care hospital is presented. Surgery with injection of Triamcinolone was adequate in controlling ear lobe keloids. Silicon gel sheet and pressure garments were other common adjuvant treatments advised. Multimodal treatment resulted in satisfactory control of keloids in most cases although recurrence is a possibility even in late postoperative period of more than one year. Novel treatment strategies should be evolved for managing this disfiguring and sometimes debilitating condition.
