抄録

Keloids and hypertorphic scar often present difficulties in treatment, and they are a severe problem for every surgeon. In our department, keloids have been treated with multimodal therapy including excision, postoperative electron-beam irradiation, tranilast medication and pressure treatment using silicon gel sheets or bandages. Moreover, we have added a new protocol of electron-beam irradiation which the dose is changed by keloid sites. This trial proposes a new method. In this paper, we introduce some new twists to prevent recurrence of keloid being in use in our department, along with the future prospects of keloid treatment.
