Aim:
Patients undergoing scar revision surgery have high expectations for both aesthetic restoration and functional recovery, with postoperative pain management and scar prevention being key factors that influence the quality of rehabilitation. This study, through a retrospective analysis, examined the impact of comprehensive postoperative incisional analgesia and scar-prevention intervention on rehabilitation outcomes in patients undergoing scar revision surgery, aiming to provide evidence for optimizing clinical postoperative management strategies.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted using the clinical data of 170 patients who underwent scar revision surgery in our hospital between March 2022 and August 2024. Based on the intervention approach, patients were assigned to a comprehensive intervention group (n = 90) and a control group (n = 80). Both groups received standardized optimal wound care, including layered suturing of incisions and routine dressing changes every 3 days, until suture removal. The comprehensive intervention group received multimodal analgesia combined with a comprehensive scar-management protocol, while the control group received routine analgesia combined with a basic scar-management plan. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) scores, and complication rates were compared between the two groups.
Results:
Preoperative baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between the two groups (p > 0.05). Postoperative VAS scores in the comprehensive intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the total VSS score in the comprehensive intervention group was significantly superior to that in the control group (p < 0.001). Regarding complications, the overall complication rate in the comprehensive intervention group (25.56%) was significantly lower than in the control group (51.25%) (p < 0.01). Subgroup analyses based on scar type (hypertrophic vs. keloid) demonstrated consistent benefits of the intervention, with no significant interaction observed (p > 0.05).
Conclusions:
Comprehensive postoperative analgesia and scar-prevention intervention can effectively alleviate postoperative pain, improve scar appearance, and enhance rehabilitation among patients undergoing scar revision surgery, indicating that such an approach is suitable for clinical application.
