Main Article Content

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate surgical treatment outcomes for earlobe keloids. Research subjects and methods: The cross-sectional study mentioned above comprised 45 patients with keloids on the earlobe who underwent surgical intervention at 108 Central Military Hospital between June 2020 and June 2023. Research subjects: 45 patients with keloids on the earlobe who underwent surgical intervention. Results: 96.2% of keloids were completely excised, 55.7% underwent direct closure for coverage, 44.3% underwent local flap and skin grafting, and 75.94% of earlobe keloids did not recur after treatment. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of earlobe keloids using direct closure or local flap reconstruction achieves good outcomes, with low recurrence rates, reduced costs, and shorter treatment times for patients.
