Most-cited papers in Scars Burns & Healing

Clinical applications of acellular dermal matrices: A review

Kyla A. Petrie, Cameron Cox, Benjamin C Becker et al. · 1 Jan 2022

INTRODUCTION: The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an integral role in wound healing. It provides both structure and growth factors that allow for the organised cell proliferation. Large or complex tissue defects may compromise host ECM, creating an environment that is unfavourable for the recovery of anatomical function and appearance. Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) have been…

Keloids: Current and emerging therapies

Nkemcho Ojeh, Ambadasu Bharatha, Uma Gaur et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Keloids are pathological scars that grow over time and extend beyond the initial site of injury after impaired wound healing. These scars frequently recur and rarely regress. They are aesthetically disfiguring, can cause pain, itching, discomfort as well as psychological stress, often affecting quality of life. Many treatment modalities, including surgical and non-surgical, have been…

Keloid research: current status and future directions

Chia-Hsuan Tsai, Rei Ogawa · 1 Jan 2019

INTRODUCTION: Keloids and hypertrophic scars are fibroproliferative disorders of the skin that result from abnormal healing of injured or irritated skin. Multiple studies suggest that genetic, systemic and local factors may contribute to the development and/or growth of keloids and hypertrophic scars. A key local factor may be mechanical stimuli. Here, we provide an up-to-date…

The evidence behind the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in scar management: a literature review

Osaid Alser, Ioannis Goutos · 1 Jan 2018

INTRODUCTION: Autologous platelet-based concentrates represent increasingly popular adjuncts to a variety of medical, surgical and aesthetic interventions. Their beneficial potential rests on the ability to deliver a high concentration of growth factors to the target tissues. There are currently no reports in the literature appraising the evidence behind the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in…

Surgical excision and postoperative radiotherapy for keloids

Rei Ogawa, Mamiko Tosa, Teruyuki Dohi et al. · 1 Jan 2019

Keloids can be treated in a number of ways, including by surgery. Multiple studies now show that while surgical monotherapy associates with extremely high rates of recurrence (50%-80%), postoperative radiotherapy can significantly reduce these recurrence rates. Ongoing improvements in radiation technology have further increased the safety and efficacy of this combination protocol. Of the various…
