Abstract

Abstract Postburned auricular keloids are a challenging problem for the patient and physician. We describe a successful combined treatment of a bulky postburn auricular keloid employing intralesional cryosurgery followed by multiple W-plasty. An EAR-Q pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcome assessments have revealed a significant improvement in all ear parameters of appearance, adverse effects, and quality of life. This combined treatment might be added to the armamentarium of possible treatment modalities for this perplexing problem.
