Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of postoperative radiotherapy combined with local compression in the treatment of auricular keloids.Methods A total of 98 patients with auricular keloids were selected as the research subjects,all of whom were admitted to the hospital from January 2022 to March 2024.They were included in the radiotherapy group(n=49)and the combined group(n=49)by the random number table method.The radiotherapy group was treated with superficial X-ray irradiation,while the combined group was treated with superficial X-ray irradiation combined with local compression.The therapeutic effects,scar recovery conditions and the occurrence of adverse reactions of the three groups of patients were compared.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the combined group was 97.92%,which was higher than 79.59%in the radiotherapy group(χ2=8.098,P<0.05).At 1 and 3 months after surgery,the Vancouver Scar Scale scores of the combined group were(3.25±0.84)points and(3.42±0.88)points respectively,lower than(3.56±0.91)points and(3.99±1.05)points of the radiotherapy group,6 months,comparison between the two groups(t=2.894,P=0.005).The incidence of adverse reactions in the combined group was 12.24%,which showed no significant difference compared with 10.20%in the radiotherapy group(P>0.05).Conclusion The effect of postoperative radiotherapy combined with local compression in the treatment of auricular keloids is remarkable.It can effectively promote scar recovery and exhibits ideal safety.
