RESUMO
Keloids present a challenging clinical problem due to their propensity for recurrence and need for adjuvant therapy. We present a case where a large keloid resection required free tissue transfer and immediate radiation therapy was employed 24 hours postoperatively. There were no significant issues with flap survival, wound healing, or recurrence 2 years postoperatively. This is the first case report of successful radiation treatment 1 day after reconstruction of the head and neck with a free flap. Laryngoscope, 131:E1818-E1820, 2021.
