To determine the optimal time to apply a fractional CO 2 laser for the treatment of postsecondary repair scars in patients with cleft lip.
Forty-two patients with linear scarring after cleft lip repair were recruited from November 2021 to October 2022. A single-blind, randomized, controlled cohort study was conducted to examine the impact of fractional CO 2 laser treatment compared with conventional conservative treatment. Thirty patients started laser treatment at 1 month ( n = 10), 3 months ( n = 10), and 6 months ( n = 10) postoperatively, and 12 patients were in the control group. Each patient was treated with high-energy low-density fractional CO 2 laser treatment 3 times at an interval of 1 month. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used for scar evaluation to determine vascularity, pigmentation, pliability, and height.
The VSS scores decreased significantly after laser treatment ( p < .05), with the most significant improvement in scars in the group that started treatment 1 month after the surgery.
Early postoperative fractional CO 2 laser treatment of cleft lip scars is more effective than later treatment.
确定应用二氧化碳点阵激光治疗唇裂患者二期修复后瘢痕的最佳时间。
于2021年11月至2022年10月招募42例唇裂修复后有线性瘢痕的患者。进行一项单盲、随机、对照队列研究,以检验与传统保守治疗相比,二氧化碳点阵激光治疗的效果。30例患者分别于术后1个月(n = 10)、3个月(n = 10)和6个月(n = 10)开始激光治疗,12例患者作为对照组。每位患者接受高能低密度二氧化碳点阵激光治疗,每月1次,共3次。采用温哥华瘢痕量表(VSS)对瘢痕进行评估,以确定血管分布、色素沉着、柔韧性和高度。
激光治疗后VSS评分显著降低(p < 0.05),术后1个月开始治疗的组瘢痕改善最为显著。
唇裂瘢痕术后早期进行二氧化碳点阵激光治疗比晚期治疗更有效。
