Treatment and Improvement of Healing after Surgical Intervention Bueno, Andrea Nevado Sánchez, Endika Pardo Hernández, Rocío Fuente Anuncibay, Raquel de la González Bernal, Jerónimo Scars Surgery Treatments Healing techniques 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 to identify newly researched approaches to improving the quality of surgical scars. A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect was conducted between 13 May 2023 and 17 May 2023, in accordance with the recommendations of the PRISMA Statement. Study selection and analysis of methodological quality were performed in parts, independently and blindly, based on eligibility criteria. The 21 prospective, comparative, and randomized studies reviewed included 1057 subjects and studied approaches such as topical applications of creams with herbal extracts and silicone gels, growth factors, negative pressure dressings, oligonucleotides, intralesional injection of compounds 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 really promising to improve the results of surgical scars; however, the available evidence is extremely limited in some cases, and it is necessary to deepen its analysis to obtain reliable action protocols in each type of surgery. 2026-05-29T05:24:47Z 2026-05-29T05:24:47Z 2026-05-29T05:24:47Z 2023-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11754 10.3390/healthcare11152213 2227-9032 eng Healthcare. 2023, V. 11, n. 15, art. 2213 https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare11152213 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Atribución 4.0 Internacional MDPI
