Abstract

Background

Even though scars are major issues for patients who undergo facial lacerations, programs for their prevention and early management are not well established. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of prophylactic scar assessments and early scar interventions in patients with lacerations.

Patients and Methods

A total of 116 patients underwent suture line and scar prevention treatment in the emergency room from 2014 to 2015. In the retrospective study, 46 patients who met all the criteria were included in the study. They were assigned to one of the following two scar prevention programs: the standard scar program for prevention, which included taping, silicone sheets, and ointments, and the multimodality scar program for treatment, which included triamcinolone, botulinum toxins, or CO2 fractional lasers. The patterns of early scar program were investigated for the standard scar prevention program and the multimodality scar management program, and we evaluated the scar assessment scores of the patients at 3 and 6 months.

Results

Scar scores for the patients who received multimodality scar management showed statistically significant improvements in Patient Scar Assessment (PSA) scales, Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scales (SBSES), Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) scores, and Visual Analog Scar (VAS) scales (the p values were 0.008, 0.007, 0.017, and 0.01, respectively).

Conclusion

The multimodality scar program is more effective for scar prevention than the standard scar program.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
