Surgical treatment of scars. Literary review

Introduction. The growing demand for plastic surgeons to eliminate scars on the skin leads the surgical community to the need for a detailed study of the morphogenesis, histochemical structure of scars, and the search for new optimal surgical methods. The purpose of the work: to analyze literary sources on the topic: surgical treatment of scars. Materials and methods. 286 literary sources on surgical treatment of scars were analyzed. The search for literature sources was carried out by keywords using the search engines Cyberleninka, eLibrary, PubMed. The main part. In the main part, the issues of classification and clinical diagnosis based on international diagnostic scales are considered. The methods of therapeutic and surgical treatment are also analyzed. Conclusion. A wide range of treatment methods, both therapeutic and surgical, indicates the lack of a unified approach by plastic surgeons to the management of patients with scars. Scar treatment is a rapidly developing field that currently lacks a structured and validated approach. It is obvious that further clinical and scientific research is needed in this area in order to improve the results of scar treatment.
