AB The development of abnormal scars has a great impact on people’s well-being, and improv-ing scarring outcomes after surgery is a field that currently lacks consensus. This review aims toidentify newly researched approaches to improving the quality of surgical scars. A systematic searchof PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect was conducted between 13 May 2023 and17 May 2023, in accordance with the recommendations of the PRISMA Statement. Study selectionand analysis of methodological quality were performed in parts, independently and blindly, basedon eligibility criteria. The 21 prospective, comparative, and randomized studies reviewed included1057 subjects and studied approaches such as topical applications of creams with herbal extracts andsilicone gels, growth factors, negative pressure dressings, oligonucleotides, intralesional injection ofcompounds such as botulinum toxin, skin closure techniques such as suturing and tissue adhesive,and laser treatments. There are recent research techniques that generate good results and are reallypromising to improve the results of surgical scars; however, the available evidence is extremelylimited in some cases, and it is necessary to deepen its analysis to obtain reliable action protocols ineach type of surgery.
