An approach to achieve tension-free closure and mitigate recurrence in the management of recurrent cervical keloids.
Journal of Surgical Case Reports 2024 April
Keloid is a burdensome condition that negatively affects patient's quality of life. It is influenced by a spectrum of risk factors, including tension. We propose an approach to address the tension-free closure and optimize surgical outcomes in neck keloid. A retrospective review of neck keloid patients who underwent surgical treatment between 2014 and 2022 was performed. Five patients underwent surgical interventions. Two patients had sufficient and three had insufficient tissue redundancy. The former underwent keloid excision with tension-free closure. The latter underwent keloid excision with full thickness skin graft for tension-free closure. One patient required re-excision with free flap coverage. All patients received postoperative low dose radiation. All patients were satisfied with the results and there were no signs of keloid recurrence during the follow-up period. Tension during closure following keloid excision is a modifiable risk factor. An appropriate algorithm providing tension-free closure can minimize the recurrence.
