Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze clinical experience in treating earlobe keloids.
- To elucidate the pathogenesis and etiological factors of keloid scars.
- To describe plastic surgery methods for earlobe defect restoration after keloid removal.
Main Methods:
- Clinical case analysis of 16 patients with earlobe keloids.
- Description of morphological characteristics of keloid scars.
- Surgical removal of keloid scars followed by plastic operations for defect restoration.
Main Results:
- Successful surgical removal and reconstruction in 16 patients.
- Demonstration of plastic surgery techniques for restoring earlobe anatomy.
- Discussion of atypical etiological factors influencing keloid formation.
Conclusions:
- Surgical intervention is effective for earlobe keloid removal and reconstruction.
- Further research into keloid pathogenesis and etiology is warranted.
