Abstract

This article analyzes the effectiveness of laser therapy in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars of the anterior abdominal wall. The study compared the outcomes of treatment performed using a CO₂ laser with those of traditional methods. Clinical assessment criteria included the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and itching, and patient aesthetic satisfaction. The results showed that laser therapy significantly reduces the size, density, and symptoms of scars. The minimal invasiveness of this method, short rehabilitation period, and high aesthetic effectiveness confirm its promising potential for wide application in clinical practice.
