Textbook on Scar Management

This text book is open access. Written by a group of international experts in the field and the result of over ten years of collaboration, it allows readers to gain a detailed understanding of scar and wound treatment. The content is divided into three parts for easy reference.  

  1. The first part focuses on the fundamentals of scar management, including assessment and evaluation procedures, classification, tools for accurate measurement of all scar-related elements (volume density, color, vascularization), descriptions of the different evaluation scales.  
  1. The second section offers a comprehensive review of treatment and evidence-based technologies, presenting a consensus of the various available guidelines (silicone, surgery, chemical injections, mechanical tools for scar stabilization, lasers).  
  1. The third part evaluates the full range of emerging technologies offered to physicians as alternative or complementary solutions for wound healing (mechanical, chemical, anti-proliferation).
