Abstract:

Keloids are cosmetically, mentally and practically incapacitating injuries that have demonstrated hard to treat with careful extraction alone. Huge keloids are especially difficult to treat in light of the fact that large numbers of the mongrel lease treatments for keloids are unacceptable, and the leftover deformity after extraction is challenging to close. The creators report a case including a huge distorting keloid on the head and neck, which was treated with careful extraction and quick reproduction with a free anterolateral thigh fas-ciocutaneous fold. No further adjuvant treatment was embraced. At one-year follow-up, there was no repeat at the beneficiary site, and the benefactor site mended without deformation. The free fasciocutaneous anterolateral thigh fold might be compelling at treating huge keloids in the head and neck district; notwithstanding, very much controlled clinical examinations are expected to lay out this.
