Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Ear keloids present a significant clinical challenge due to high post-surgical recurrence rates.
  • Conventional conservative compression methods are often used as adjuncts but can be cumbersome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and patient comfort of a novel, digitally fabricated auricular splint as an adjunct therapy for ear keloid excision.
  • To compare the efficiency of a computer-aided design/computed-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) workflow with traditional methods for auricular splint production.

Main Methods:

  • A customized, two-piece auricular splint was designed using digital scans of the ear taken two weeks post-excision.
  • The splint was fabricated using clear acrylic via 3D printing (CAD/CAM).
  • Patients wore the splint for at least 8 hours daily, with follow-up for 6 months to assess scar status and recurrence.

Main Results:

  • The digitally produced splint resulted in a flat, pink excision scar at 6 months, with no keloid recurrence.
  • Patients reported unrestricted daily activities and improved comfort compared to conventional methods.
  • The digital workflow significantly reduced the time required for splint fabrication.

Conclusions:

  • A fully digital workflow for producing patient-specific auricular splints is a viable and effective adjunctive treatment for ear keloids.
  • This innovative CAD/CAM approach enhances patient compliance and outcomes while improving procedural efficiency.
  • The use of 3D-printed auricular splints represents a significant advancement in managing challenging ear keloid cases.
