摘要

I read with great interest the article by Bran et al titled "Auricular Keloids: Combined Therapy With a New Pressure Device." The authors introduce the novel adjuvant pressure therapy for ear keloids using a newly designed, custom-fitted pressure device combined with surgical excision and subsequent intra-lesional corticosteroid injection. They are to be commended for their efforts.Keloids are often resistant to treatment and have high recurrence rates, and much of the history of postoperative adjuvant therapies has centered on prevention of keloid recurrences. Surgical excision followed by postoperative pressure therapy provides reasonably positive results in the reviewed literature
