| Abstract (English): |
Background and Objective. The incidence of keloids in ears is increasing. The high frequency of recurrence is of great interest, so surgical removal is associated with other therapies like radiotherapy, corticosteroids, cryotherapy, laser, acupressure, etc. Pressure therapy is an effective, simple and accessible method. Methods. We conduct a prospective, experimental study, with 11 cases of keloid ears treated with surgical resection followed by pressure therapy using magnets, taking into account the pressure and magnetic force. Follow up between 4 and 6 months was performed. Tests such as Mann-Whitney and Linear Coefficient were used. The recurrence rate was determined and a regression analysis to study the value in Analog Scale of Pain (VAS) was performed. Results. The recurrence free rate was 90,91%. There were no complications. As the EVA, an upward tolerance headset magnet therapy over time was observed. Conclusions. The protocol we present using magnets is an excellent adjuvant treatment. Additionally, magnetism seems to fulfill a key role in the remodeling and organization of the collagen fibers of postoperative scarring, adding more to this type of pressure therapy effectiveness.

Introducción y Objetivos. La incidencia de queloides auriculares es cada vez mayor. Su alta frecuencia de recidiva es de gran interés, por ello su extirpación quirúrgica se asocia a otras terapias como radioterapia, corticoides, crioterapia, láser, presoterapia, etc. La presoterapia resulta un método efectivo, sencillo y accesible. Material y Método. Realizamos un estudio prospectivo, experimental, sobre 11 casos de queloides auriculares tratados con resección quirúrgica seguida de presoterapia usando imanes, tomando en cuenta la presión y fuerza magnética ejercida. Llevamos a cabo seguimiento de los casos entre 4 y 6 meses. Empleamos las pruebas de Mann-Whitney y Coeficiente Lineal de Pearson. Determinamos la tasa de recurrencia y realizamos un analisis de regresión para el estudio de la escala de Valor Análoga del Dolor (EVA). Resultados. La tasa libre de recurrencia fue del 90.91%. No hubo ningún tipo de complicación. En cuanto a la EVA, observamos una ascendente tolerancia a la terapia con imanes auriculares a través del tiempo. Conclusiones. El protocolo de uso de imanes que presentamos es un excelente tratamiento coadyuvante. El magnetismo parece cumplir un papel fundamental en la remodelación y organización de las fibras de colágeno de las cicatrices postoperatorias, añadiendo una efectividad mayor a la presoterapia.
