Abstract:
A Chinese localization protocol on scar prevention and management is needed, due to the ethnic differences and complicated clinical environment. Therefore, the "Chinese Expert Consensus Report on Clinical Prevention and Treatment of Scar" was released in 2017, after two-year extensive discussions, among 12 independent experts in burn/trauma, plastic surgery and dermatology. A number of recommendations were put forward to keep pace with the times, and adapt to the current clinical situation in China. This review is focused on some sections of the Expert Consensus, including the classification, assessment, prevention and treatment of scar, and related novel techniques, along with a briefly introduction of the rationales and theoretical evidences underlying the consensus.
