Abstract

Although incisions which are used for gynecologic and obstetric operations could be disguised, scar develops as a natural result of wound healing. Patients can be troubled related to these scars. For this reason, medical professionals must be aware of some methods which are useful for minimal scar development after operations. Incision scar is a result of normal wound healing and can be classified as physiological scars, hypertrophic scars and keloids. Physiological scar features are plain shape, clear colour, not itchy and similar to contour tissue. Hypertrophic scars features are redness, swelling, sometimes itchy and limited to incision edge. Keloids are commonly thick, untidy, not limited to incision edge and itchy. Surgical exicision, silicone gel sheeting, pressure therapy, corticosteroid injections, onion extract gel, radiotherapy, laser therapy, cryothreapy, adhesive microporous hypoallergenic paper tape and some others are treatment methods of scars. There are many different practices with which we are obtaining successful results: first of all favourable surgical closure (subcuticular and intradermal continuous suture placement reduces tension), which is followed by one or a combination of the following: silicone gel sheeting, silicone gel, pressure therapy, corticosteroid injections, onion extract gel. In this review, we aimed to discuss the succesful approaches to avoid hypertrophic scars or keloids in the light of our clinical experience. We believe that best aesthetic results and patient satisfaction at the postoperative period is directly related with these practices.

Özet

Jinekolojik ve obstetrik operasyonların insizyon skarları bazen fizyolojik iyileşme sınırlarının dışına taşabilir. insizyon onarımlarına her ne kadar özen gösterilse de hipertrofik skar veya keloid formundaki patolojik skarlar hastayı aşırı derecede rahatsız etmektedir. Bu nedenle operasyon sonrası oluşacak skarı minimuma indirmek için kullanılan bazı yöntemlerin ve fizyolojik olmayan skar tedavisinin jinekolog ve obstetrisyenler tarafından bilinmesi faydalı olacaktır. Skar profilaksi ve tedavisinde cerrahi eksizyon, silikon jel tabaka, bası tedavisi, kortikosteroid enjeksiyonu, soğan ekstresi jeli, radyoterapi, laser tedavisi, kriyoterapi, yapışkan mikroporlu hipoallerjik kâğıt bantlar ve diğer bazı yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Bizim de kliniğimizde uyguladığımız ve başarılı sonuçlar elde ettiğimiz tedaviler ise: Uygun sütür teknikleriyle cerrahi kapamayı takiben silikon jel tabaka, silikon jel, bası tedavisi, kortikosteroid enjeksiyonu ve soğan ekstresi jeli kullanımıdır. Bu yazıda, hipertrofik skar ve keloidi önlemek amacıyla günümüzde kullanılan tedavi yöntemlerini özetleyerek, kendi klinik tecrübelerimiz ışığındanda ulaştığımız başarılı tedavi yaklaşımları aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu tedavilerin postoperatif dönemde uygulanması sonucunda iyi estetik sonuç ve yeterli hasta memnuniyeti elde edileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
