ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the treatment of auricular keloid with dinuclear surgery and intralesional injection of compound Betamethasone.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From Jan. 2008 to Jan. 2012, a total of 186 cases of ear keloid were treated by surgery only (22 cases), or intralesional injection of compound Betamethasone (34 cases), or combined dinuclear surgery with compound Betamethasone (130 cases). All the patients were followed up for one year. SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical processing and analysis, and GraphPad inspection method for inspection.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The effective rate was 54.55% (12/ 22) in surgery group and 55.88% (19/34)in injection group. The recurrence was obvious in injection group during the follow-up period. The effective rate was as high as 96.92% (126/130) in combined group with recurrence in 4 cases, which was significantly higher than that in other 2 groups (P < 0. 01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Combined dinuclear surgery and compound Betamethasone injection has a good therapeutic effect on auricular keloids.</p>
